General Description:
The engineering students will acquire the skills for a global and territorial approach to the management of flows between different systems and organisations and the consequences of choice of scenarii on associated environmental impacts. Thus, on the one hand, it is proposed to deal with the management of biomass and biogas for improving energy efficiency in a given territory. On the other hand, students will be confronted with case studies of the implementation of a system of flow sharing with a view to rationalising and achieving integrated management. In addition, students will undertake an environmental analysis of the case studies. The interest lies in using this approach in the context of territorial planning.
