The SAF platform published the article on how Ukrainian higher education institutions are introducing new bioenergy courses.

Thanks to the important EBRD/GEF project “Ukraine Sustainable Bioenergy Value Chain Innovation – Knowledge Management Programme”, it was possible to unite the best specialists in Ukraine to develop relevant, progressive and useful university programs. Our experts have also involved.

Links to the materials we have developed are also included in this article.

The project is carried out by Ukrainian specialists of Scientific Engineering Centre “Biomass”, Bioenergy Association of Ukraine, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Polissia National University. By the way, ІВВК educational centre (Germany) also participates in the project.

One of the main tasks of the project is to update curricula of Ukraine’s higher educational institutions, taking into account the achievements of modern bioenergy technologies and the best international practices.

To fulfill this task, within the framework of the project, 14 educational, educational-professional and educational-scientific programs in six universities of Ukraine were updated and approved in 2024:

Polissia National University (Zhytomyr city) – 4 programs.
National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine – 3 programs.
Lutsk National Technical University – 4 programs.
National Forestry University of Ukraine (Lviv city) – 1 program.
National Aviation University – 1 program.
State Biotechnical University (Kharkiv city) – 1 program.

The educational components of the updated programs related to bioenergy cover the entire range of technical and technological issues of the sector, which provides an opportunity for high-quality training of specialists in all necessary directions. For illustration, the following examples of relevant educational components can be given:

sustainable bioenergy;
bioenergy systems and agricultural production complexes;
biogas and biomethane technologies;
equipment and technologies for the production of solid biofuels;
woody energy crops;
installation, adjustment and technical operation of bioenergy equipment.
