By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify and Analyze different types of biomass wastes and side streams, their composition, and potential valorization strategies.
• Evaluate Methods for biomass fractionation, pre-treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis.
• Design Processes: biomass conversion by fermentation, including submerged and solid-state systems, and optimize processes for improved performance.
• Understand Biorefinery Principles: formulate strategies for total biomass valorization within a biorefinery concept.
• Apply Integration Techniques: use process integration and intensification to maximize product formation and economic revenues.
• Implement Large Scale Solutions: critically assess and implement bio-based solutions on a large scale.

The course is tailored to a broad audience from industry and academia in the biomanufacturing and sustainability sectors, aimed at understanding, developing, and implementing sustainable bio-based technologies for waste and side stream valorization.

This course is especially beneficial for professionals with background, skills, or experience in the following areas:

• Biomanufacturing Professionals: Engineers, scientists, and technicians focused on sustainable waste valorization processes.
• Environmental and Sustainability Managers: Individuals responsible for sustainability initiatives and environmental impact reduction.
• R&D and Innovation Teams: Researchers and developers aiming to create new products from waste and side streams.
• Chemical and Biochemical Engineers: Professionals interested in biochemical conversion processes and biorefinery concepts.
• Academic Researchers and PhD Students: Academics and graduate students working on waste valorization and sustainable bioprocessing projects.
• Industry Consultants: Consultants advising on sustainability, waste management, and bioprocess optimization. ·
• Regulatory and Policy Makers: Those involved in creating policies around waste management and sustainability.
• Entrepreneurs and Start-up Founders: Individuals developing businesses or products based on waste valorization technologies.

Participants do not need to have specific knowledge in the field of biotechnology other than a basic high-school-level understanding of natural sciences.
