Liquid bio-fuels: technologies for converting biomass into liquid fuels (methanol and ethanol), long-term bio-fuel production potentials, economic and energy security, environmental issues. Gaseous bio-fuels: biogas, anaerobic digestion process and description, biogas content, market and availability of biogas, energetic and environmental issues.

Research at IST: direct combustion, co-combustion and steam gasification.

Examples of questions and problems from previous years.
