The Bio Energy study track at Aalto University for second year includes two modules: Power Generation from Biomass and Bioenergy in Transport. The Power Generation from Biomass module focuses on sustainable production of power from biomass which includes all aspects related to bio-boilers principles, planning, structure and operation. The Bio energy in Transport module focuses on the use and usability and combustion of bio-derived fuels in transport. On-road, off-road and marine transport is covered. The basics of bio-fuel production principles are covered too. The courses of both modules consist of lectures, literature, simulation exercises, excursions, seminars and group project work.

Learning outcomes:

• Student acquire a state-of-the-art education and training in the fields of sustainable power generation from biomass and biofuel; become familiar with the principles, planning, structure and operation of bio-boilers, combustion and gasification techniques in different types of boilers; obtain constructive knowledge in biofuel production, use, combustion and relevant environmental aspects.
   
• Student become skilled in calculation, simulation, design and analysis of thermal processes in bio energy power plant through training in multidisciplinary problem analysis and solving with emphasis on critical thinking
   
• Close collaboration with industry during thesis work and organizing excursion for many courses (especially project work courses) to provide students with enough knowledge about biomass technology both in theory and practice.
