Introducing students to sustainable energy policy and using renewable energy sources, mainly biomass. 1. Sustainable development and energy, historical development and the present. 2. EU and Czech energy policy. 3. Distribution of renewable energy sources. 4. Environmental, economic and social aspects of phyto-energetics. 5. Mechanical, physical and chemical properties of phytomass, preparation of phyto-fuels, calorific value, emissions. 6. Basic methods of obtaining energy from phytomass by dry method (combustion, gasification, pyrolysis). 7. Obtaining energy from phytomass in the wet way (biochemical methods, ethanol, biogas). 8. Obtaining energy from phytomass by chemical methods (liquid biofuels). 9. Use of agricultural crops for energy purposes. 10. Growing energy crops (annual, perennial, herb). 11. Growing of wooden biomass. 12. Solar energy, wind energy, water energy. 13. Use of heat pumps, geothermal energy and other RES. 14. Energy savings, low-energy structures, passive houses, recuperation.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the general issues of obtaining energy from renewable sources, primarily from phytomass, with its use and with reducing the burden on the environment. The course also provides information on the spectrum and basic biological characteristics of plant species used in the Czech Republic for the purpose of direct combustion or biogas plants. It informs about agroecological demands of the main species providing energy phytomass, summarizes the issue of optimal agrotechnical of promising plant species and addresses the quantitative and qualitative parameters of phytomass, their energy, economic and environmental aspects.
The student gain the ability to decide on the suitability of the implementation of energy plants in sowing procedures for specific conditions, can grow plants for energy use, has an overview of the principles of operation and methods of energy transformation from biomass and RES. Graduates of the course will also gain information on maximizing yield and production quality for a given use while respecting the principles of good agricultural practice.
