"Compressed" schedule - one day and a half per week (tTraining of professionals with technical and scientific skills to intervene in the market of industries and services related to production and management of energy from biomass and waste. The technical and scientific skills of a Master in Energy and Bio-Energy are:
-
Ability to assess the possibility of producing energy from biomass and waste in order to contribute to the increased production of energy from renewable sources and to cover the needs of Portugal and other European countries, energy primary;
-
Ability to intervene in the processes of energy from these resources, seeking to optimize the processes themselves, increasing the efficiency of energy conversion and minimizing the environmental impacts arising from it;
-
Ability to develop projects for the exploitation of forest in order to contribute to reducing forest fire risks and to improve the local economic situation, regional and national levels;
-
Ability to intervene in the processes of standardization and certification of products and production systems and processing of recyclable materials from the standpoint of energy;
-
Contributing to the improvement of technologies for energy recovery from biomass, including co-generation technologies, co-gasification and pyrolysis of materials for joint significant heating value;
-
Ability to assess and manage environmental impacts of production processes and distribution of energy obtained from biomass and waste energy recoverable.
Careers
The Masters in Energy and Bio-Energy will be able to work in production, quality control and safety in activities related to biomass production and recoverable energy resources in the ranks forestry, agriculture and waste recovery, as well as developing new bio-fuels and on improving existing production processes. They may perform tasks consultancy, research and development in various sectors in the Universities, Polytechnics and Industry.
