Study Guide

Objective

You'll understand the carbon cycle in ecosystem, carbon sinks and carbon storages.
You’ll learn about the consequences of disruptions to the natural carbon cycle and the international efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change. You’ll understand carbon cycle as a part of bioeconomy and the possibilities of life-cycle assessment in carbon management. You’ll study examples of carbon capture and storage technologies as well as potential for carbon sequestration of forest bioeconomy. The course consists of 3 CU of theory and a 2 CU case study selected by students.
