About the Waste-To-Energy Course
This 3‑day hands‑on program teaches you how to assess waste‑to‑energy (WtE) routes—anaerobic digestion, gasification, pyrolysis—through an LCA lens and layer AI to accelerate inventory building, harmonize units, detect data gaps, and rapidly test carbon‑negative conditions.
You’ll integrate carbon‑removal options (bio‑char, CCS/BECCS, mineralisation, digestate strategies), run sensitivity sweeps, and deliver stakeholder‑ready dashboards with transparent boundaries and uncertainty notes.

• e-Certification and e-Marksheet upon successful completion
• Dedicated mentor support and interactive doubt-clearing sessions
• Practical experience with tools: Python, AI‑assisted LCA tools, ecoinvent, OpenLCA
• Career-oriented training for academic and professional growth in waste-to-energy
Course Curriculum
Module 1: Module 1 – WtE Pathways & AI‑Ready LCA Framing
- Explore the waste‑to‑energy landscape (MSW, biomass, sludge, organics)
- Define carbon‑negative logic (biogenic carbon, avoided emissions, credits)
- Build a baseline LCA skeleton for a selected route and compute kg CO₂e/kWh
Module 2: Module 2 – AI‑Assisted Data Gap Detection & Unit Harmonisation
- Apply AI tools to flag missing LCI data and generate smart assumptions
- Automate unit conversion and create reusable scenario templates
- Validate data quality and document uncertainty hotspots
Module 3: Module 3 – Carbon Removal Integration & System Expansion
- Introduce bio‑char, CCS/BECCS, mineralisation, and digestate strategies
- Model avoided burden (grid displacement, landfill diversion, fertilizer substitution)
- Add a removal option to the Day‑1 model and run AI‑driven sensitivity sweeps
Module 4: Module 4 – Sensitivity, Uncertainty & Risk Drivers
- Prioritise key drivers (methane leakage, efficiency, transport, credit assumptions)
- Use AI to auto‑generate parameter sets and rapid uncertainty screening
- Interpret results to identify net‑negative operating windows
Module 5: Module 5 – Decision Metrics & Scenario Benchmarking
- Calculate net GHG, energy yield, removal effectiveness, permanence risk, robustness score
- Benchmark 2‑3 pathways (AD, gasification, pyrolysis) under identical assumptions
- Generate AI‑assisted assumptions tables and anomaly flags
Module 6: Module 6 – Reporting‑Ready Dashboards & Carbon‑Negative Claims
- Create stakeholder‑ready dashboards with boundaries disclosure
- Draft claim statements with guardrails, dos & don’ts, and uncertainty notes
- Produce a simple MRV‑style template for ongoing verification
