Abstract(s)
The development of sustainable alternative fuel, energy and chemical products is happening
all over the world. Some of the main reasons for this increase are the increasing demand for fuel
and energy due to population growth and economic development; climate change and the need
for decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; enhancement of waste recovery efforts to redirect
waste away from landfills and decrease the reliance on primary raw materials. Thus, it is important
to make students aware of these aspects and explore the development of alternative fuels, while
giving them the tools to be creative and autonomous.
The aim of this paper is to show how the implementation of a mini-project can improve not only
students’ knowledge about the production of a biofuel from waste, but also their development of the
theoretical and basic skills needed to carry out the mini-project.
This paper presents in addition to the methodology used, some results to the implementation of the
mini project, specifically the students’ points of view.
