The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) invites you to take part in the “course: Applications of Microalgae in Bioelectrochemical Systems,” organized under the ETRELA Project, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Government of Germany and carried out in collaboration with the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo and its Alternative Energy and Environment Group (ESPOCH).
The energy transition and the circular bioeconomy are transforming the way the world manages its resources. Technologies that seemed experimental just a few years ago now offer real solutions for recovering water, capturing carbon, and producing clean energy all at once.
What will you learn?
✅ Understand how Bioelectrochemical Systems work in a practical and accessible way.
✅ Discover how microalgae can contribute to wastewater treatment, carbon capture, and bioelectricity generation.
✅ Analyze international success stories in microbial fuel cells and desalination.
✅ Identify technologies and applications with potential for innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development.
