SHORT TERM TRAINING PROGRAM on Bio-energy Conversion Technologies (BECT-2013)

December 24-28, 2013

Co-Sponsored by TEQIP II

Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology
Bhopal 462051 India

About the Programme Energy is an essential requirement for socio-economic development and economic growth. Biomass-to-energy conversion technologies have to deal with a feedstock with highly variable mass and energy densities, size, moisture content, and intermittent supply. Therefore, modern industrial technologies are often hybrid fossil-fuel/biomass technologies which use the fossil fuel for drying, preheating and maintaining fuel supply whenever the biomass supply is interrupted. There are a number of technological options available to make use of a wide variety of biomass types as a renewable energy source. Conversion technologies may release the energy directly, in the form of heat or electricity, or may convert it to another form, such as liquid biofuel or combustible biogas. While for some classes of biomass resource, there may be a number of usage options, for others there may be only one appropriate technology. There are various conversion technologies that can convert biomass resources into power, heat, and fuels for potential use in the countries.
