Programma di Master in Recupero delle Risorse - Processi Energetici Sostenibili

Today, humans produce vast amounts of waste and other residual material; at the same time, the demand for products and energy is steadily increasing. This increase also applies to the need for nutrients and minerals that often end up in landfills or the ocean. This Master&rsquo program is for those who want to be a part of the important technological leap forward towards a circular economy and a more sustainable energy system, either as a researcher, an engineer, or within management.

Our program in short

In this Master&rsquo program, you will study the opportunities available regarding the utilization of waste and residual material. Through thermal treatment methods, you will learn to create valuable and necessary products. It is possible, for example, to produce energy carriers like electricity, heat, and fuels, and at the same time separate inorganic material and important metals for future use in society. This minimizes the need for landfills. Your future role focuses on minimizing human interference in the natural biosphere. More specifically, the studies include process technologies but also system analysis specifically dedicated to energy purposes.
