As urbanization and industrialization generate increasing volumes of solid, liquid, and industrial waste, converting waste into energy and valuable products becomes vital for sustainable development. This domain equips learners to design, analyze, and manage Waste-to-Energy (WtE) systems, circular bioeconomy solutions, and resource valorization strategies. Participants develop hands-on skills in thermochemical, biochemical, and mechanical conversion technologies, lifecycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, regulatory compliance, and sustainable operations for municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste streams.
