The aim of the course:
Providing knowledge about coal-related greenhouse gas emissions and their mitigation opportunities
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : evaluate environmental effects of global warming1 - 5 - 75,6
PO - 2 : provide mitigation options for coal-related methane emissions1 - 5 - 75,6
PO - 3 : provide mitigation options for coal-related carbon dioxide emissions1 - 5 - 75,6
PO - 4 : develop alternative scenarious for coal-related methane emissions based on global/Turkey perspective and analyze the related scenarious1 - 5 - 75,6
