Module contentLectures1. Review of recent energy conversion technologies2. Fossil fuels use environmental and social factors3. Coal chemistry, conversion and combustion4. Low rank coal and co-combustion systems. 5. Fluidized bed and pulverised coal combustion units6. Future oxy-fuel technologies and IGCC systems7. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) technologies8. Polygeneration and synthetic fuels production9. Clean coal environmental and economic aspects

Project classes1. Thermodynamic and process analysis of the coal-based CHP power-plant unit2. Modeling of oxy-combustion system and membrane separation processes 3. Effectiveness and costs of the selected carbon capture technologies

Method of calculating the final gradeThe grade from a project (P) and examination (E) is calculated as follows: percent of points obtained isrecalculated to grade according to rules of studies at AGHFinal grade (OK) is calculated as weighted average of:OK = 0.5 w (E+P)W = 1 for first evaluation deadline and 1st retake and w =0.9 for 2nd retake.

Prerequisites and additional requirementsBasic knowledge of chemical engineering and basic English
