Outline and Purpose of the Course	A transition of the fossil-based energy technology to the renewable energy technology requires new chemistry based on the principle of energy utilization in nature. Nature has found fantastic solutions to convert solar energy to chemical energy and to utilize them in the exceptionally efficient manners for almost 3 billion years. This class focuses to understand the efficient bioenergetic processes of nature and to design bio-inspired energy utilization systems.
Course Goals	Understanding the logic and principle of efficient bioenergetic processes in nature will provide new concepts for bio-inspired energy utilization systems in the society.
