Learning outcomes
|
The course discusses the basic chemical processes relevant to the energy of fossil fuel combustion, as well as the energy of alternative renewable energy sources. These are, on the one hand, the processes taking place during energy transformations and their description, understanding and application, as well as their impact on the environment and the minimization of these effects.
After completing the course, students will gain basic knowledge about chemical processes and chemical technologies needed for application in the field of energy and fuels.
