Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The course objective is to equip the student with knowledge of chemical and environmental aspects, current and perspective technologies and policy of fuels production and utilization.
Student will be able to:
- characterize the principles of fuel processes
- create and evaluate the mass and energy balances of these processes
- assess the quality of material inputs into fuel processes
- assess environmental risks of selected technologies
- find optimal waste treatment practices

Summary
The course is devoted to the theory of thermal processes and their application on an industrial scale. It will provide comprehensive knowledge on the processing and energy use of fossil carbon fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and biofuels with a close link to environmental protection. They will become acquainted with the new trends in fuel industry and strategic concepts from the viewpoint of the Czech Republic and world.
