Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to the environmental problems related to energy generation by fossil and non-fossil fuels, with particular attention to the chemical and physical phenomena involved in the formation of pollutants from combustion and gasification process. The student will acquire knowledge of of clean combustion technologies and carbon capture options and will be aware of the trends in European Legislation and International initiatives for a sustainable development.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
