Abu Dhabi-UAE: 13 March, 2013:\u00a0<\/span>A two-day course on the growing waste problem in the trans-developing societies was held for members of the Young Future Energy Leaders (YFEL) program.<\/p>\n

Titled \u2018Waste Management and Waste to Energy\u2019, the course was attended by 28 YFEL members. The first day of the course covered short lectures, divided into three sessions. On the second day the course intensified the on hands-on activities, which were conducted in the Masdar Institute\u2019s labs, where participants had the chance to experience the high-tech equipment in the cutting-edge research facilities.<\/p>\n

Zainab Abdul Rahim Al Ali, YFEL Project Manager at Masdar Institute, said: \u201cThe waste management course is the first to mainly focus on hands-on activities. Participants were able to experiment with the theoretical material at Masdar Institute\u2019s labs. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the waste problem. The YFEL team consistently works on enhancing the participants\u2019 experience and improving the quality of our activities. We are grateful to the UAE\u2019s leadership that supports programs such as YFEL and motivates talented youngsters to excel in future energy and advanced technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course was led by Dr. Isam Janajreh, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Masdar Institute. The first day\u2019s proceedings covered an overview of the waste problem, review of current policy for waste management, overview of the conversion technologies, and an introduction to the waste to energy lab. The second day’s experiments were on waste material characterization, which included ultimate\/elemental analysis, proximate analysis, and biodiesel\/fuel assessment, in addition to other experiments.<\/p>\n

Dr. Janajreh said, \u201cThe average daily per capita generation in developed world is about 1.6kg and varies between 0.25 to 6kg in the trans-developing countries. This course performed as a platform for YFEL members to assess the waste generation in Abu Dhabi and statistically evaluate its potential energy, by conducting experiments in the Waste to Energy Laboratory at Masdar Institute. The YFEL members need to be provided the right ingredients to develop into effective professionals. The two-day training program have equipped them and strengthened their skill sets.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two-day YFEL course forms part of an annual schedule of three courses on Technology, Policy and Leadership relating to renewable energy-related issues in managing and guiding peers. The courses targeted young practitioners and graduate students who aim to expand their knowledge of core issues in renewable energy technology, policy and leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
