  • A minha experiência com este curso foi bastante insatisfatória. Infelizmente, não consegui assistir a nenhuma das aulas, porque todos os vídeos aparecem como privados ou indisponíveis. Dessa forma, o curso torna-se inutilizável, pois o conteúdo principal não está acessível aos alunos. Espero que a equipa responsável resolva este problema o mais rapidamente possível, para que os estudantes possam usufruir do material pelo qual se inscreveram.

    This lecture series provides a comprehensive overview of biofuels, covering various types such as ethanol, biodiesel, and advanced biofuels. The production processes are explained clearly with relevant case studies and scientific context. I appreciated the focus on environmental impact, including carbon emissions and land use. The speaker is knowledgeable and engaging, although some sections could benefit from a deeper technical dive. Overall, a highly informative and well-structured course for anyone interested in sustainable energy.
