Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Cleaner production fundamentals
  • The industrial project work
  • Material- and energy balances of industrial processes
  • Cleaner production and Life Cycle Assessment
  • Valuation of process alternatives in Cleaner Production in a sustainability perspective

Intended learning outcomes

After the course, the student shall be able to independently lead and carry out a Cleaner Production study in a major production industry including:

  • Establishing material- and energy balances for the overall process as well as the most important sub-processes of the industry (the core system),
  • Carry out a screening Life Cycle Assessment of the production process, including the establishment of a more overarching material- and energy balance (including, upstream, core and downstream  systems),
  • Using the results from the two perspectives above suggest suitable Cleaner Production measures considering technical/economic, ecologic and social aspects of the production.
