PhD course: Historical, technological and societal background to forestry and forest-based biorefining in Nordic countries

Forest-based biorefineries process forest biomass into e.g. chemicals, materials, fuels and energy using a wide variety of conversion technologies. This course will cover different aspects of biorefining:

• Assessment of forest biomass supply chains for biorefining
• Historical aspects of forestry, forest-industrial processes, and forest-based biorefineries
• Development of main conversion processes for forest biomass (mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biochemical processes)
• Environmental impact and sustainability aspects
