Educational tools and resources

The research achieved by the CERA projects has been used to inform policy, create online courses and empower communities.

The CERA team have produced three online courses:

1. Renewable Energy: Achieving Sustainability through Bioenergy

Explore bioenergy, one of the most diverse and readily available sources of bioenergy. Look into what types of biomass can be used and how sustainable energy solutions can be developed in a wide range of communities.
