Bioeconomy, Energy Market and Green Market 生物经济、能源市场与绿色经济市场

本课程将向学生介绍生物经济基本原则，如何分析能源和环境政策对不同类型生物基产品（特别关注生物能源相关产品）需求和供应的影响。该课程将涵盖整个生物质利用链的经济、市场和政策问题，包括生物质的培养、收获、运输、转化和利用，还将包括废物管理，以考虑对健康、环境和可持续发展的影响。该课程拓展了能源和环境工程领域的必修知识。该课程是欧盟Erasmus+计划BBChina项目（生物循环经济硕士项目：从田野到生物能源、生物燃料和生化制品）建设课程。

This course will provide the principles in understanding the bio-based economy and introduce to the students how to analyze the impacts of energy and environmental policies on the demand and supply of different types of bio-based products, with special focus on bioenergy related products. The course will cover the economics, market and policy issues of the entire chain of the utilization of biomass, including biomass cultivation, harvesting, transportation, conversion and utilization. Waste management will also be included to consider the impacts on health, environment, and sustainable development. The course adds a compulsory knowledge in the field of energy and environment engineering. The course is developed by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project “Master Program on Bio-Based Circular Economy: From Fields to Bioenergy, Biofuel and Bioproducts in China” (BBChina).
