课程建设和教学 Curriculum and courses
根据各参与学院特点，制定了分别适用于生命科学学院、化学工程学院、化学学院和新能源和低碳技术研究院的学生培养方案。四川大学还负责建设了两门BBChina课程：“生物质能技术与应用”和“生命周期分析”。
According to the professional directions of the participating colleges, student training programs have been formulated for the School of Life Sciences, the School of Chemical Engineering, the School of Chemistry, and the Institute of New Energy and Low-Carbon Technology. Sichuan University is also responsible for the construction of two BBChina courses: "Biomass Energy Technology and Application" and "Life Cycle Analysis".
课程1.生命周期评估
生命周期评估（LCA）是一种过程影响评估工具。通过从“摇篮”到“坟墓”的全过程分析，从排放、能耗和经济等角度研究某一产品或行为对环境的影响，从而帮助相关人员做出更准确的决策。本课程将介绍该领域的基本概念、理论和方法以及与循环经济的关系。该课程是欧盟Erasmus+计划BBChina项目（生物循环经济硕士项目：从田野到生物能源、生物燃料和生化制品）建设课程。
通过课程学习，学生将会了解生命周期与环境影响、资源保护和污染预防之间的关系；解释和评估LCA研究，了解其优势、劣势和相关用途;使用公开数据和软件实践LCA分析;了解LCA与其他评估技术的关系：如生命周期成本计算、碳足印刷和风险评估；了解LCA在循环经济中的应用。
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a process impact assessment tool. Through the whole process analysis from “cradle” to “grave”, the impact of a product or behavior on the environment is studied from the perspectives of emissions, energy consumption and economy, thus helping relevant people to make more accurate decisions. This course will introduce the basic concepts, theories and methods in the field and the relationship with the circular economy. The course is developed by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project “Master Program on Bio-Based Circular Economy: From Fields to Bioenergy, Biofuel and Bioproducts in China” (BBChina).
The students will understand the relationship between the product life cycle and environmental impact, resource conservation, and pollution prevention；interpret and evaluate an LCA study, understanding its strengths, weaknesses and appropriate use；perform a product LCA using publicly available data and software；Understand the relationship of LCA to other assessment techniques: e.g., life cycle costing, carbon foot printing, and risk assessment; learn LCA application in circular economy.
课程2.生物质能技术与应用
生物质能技术与应用是面向环境工程、环境科学和热能工程等专业硕士开设的选修课。本课程主要介绍生物质能开发的技术与应用，以及相关学科方向的最新研究进展，涵盖生物质能利用前景、生物质能的发展现状及前景、生物质能生产新技术、生物质能产业发展现状及前景等。使学生了解生物质转化为能源的意义、理论与先进技术，以及产业化运行与前景，有利于学生在生物质能方向开展研究工作。该课程是欧盟Erasmus+计划BBChina项目（生物循环经济硕士项目：从田野到生物能源、生物燃料和生化制品）建设课程。
本课程主要介绍生物质转化为清洁能源的最新理论、技术与应用。围绕不同的生物质原料采用物理、化学、生物的方法转化为能源产品，介绍其转化基本原理和最新的研究成果以及各种生物质能的应用、产业化前景等，使学生了解生物质能在能源结构调整中的重要意义、生物质能转化的先进技术、生物质能的重要应用以及国内外有关生物质能的最新研究动态等，能够运用所学知识开展有关生物质能方面的相关研究。
“Biomass Energy: Technology and Application” is a specialized course for master students majoring in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Thermal Engineering, etc. The course focuses on the up-to-date theories, technologies and application of biomass energy. It presents a description of biomass energy production technology, application and resent researches. The course contents include the utilization prospect, the current development, the new production technology and the commercialization status of biomass energy, etc. Through the study of this course, students are required to master the basic theory and technology for biomass energy, and to understand the relevant research and commercialization trends. The knowledge will help students research in the field of biomass energy. The course is developed by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project “Master Program on Bio-Based Circular Economy: From Fields to Bioenergy, Biofuel and Bioproducts in China” (BBChina).
This course is designed to introduce the theories, modern technologies and application for biomass energy. The contents include conversion technologies of biomass to energy by physical, chemical and biological methods, application of biomass energy in different fields and prospect of commercialization of all kinds of biomass energy. The relative up-to-date researches are also involved.
Students completing this course will be able to:
- Master the advanced theory and technology for biomass energy
- Have a basic understanding of the important application for biomass energy
- Have a potential ability of research in biomass energy
