Evaluation of the social and environmental impacts of the production of biodiesel from recycling waste cooking oils

Nova SBE Environmental Economics Knowledge Center research project aims to evaluate the production of biodiesel from recycling waste cooking oils and assess its environmental and social impacts.

In this project, the national market for biodiesel will be studied from both the demand and the supply side before performing a Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) of biodiesel production from recycling waste cooking oils. The project will also consider the externalities and the social-economic impacts generated by this production and include a discussion of the results and implications for policy-making.

Funded by: Prio

Researchers: Maria Antonieta Cunha e Sá, Carina Silva, Renato Rosa, Ana Faria

THE CHOICES OF

The local-for-local open innovation platform Nestlé Hatcher

Our first series dedicated to impact in Africa end with this lively and exciting conversation between Professor Filipe Alfaiate and Mr. João Barreto, the Head of Innovation and PMO at Nestle, based in South Africa. They discussed impact journeys, the BOP market in Africa, opportunities and challenges and in particular, a very interesting local-for-local open innovation platform for all in Africa called Nestlé Hatcher that João designed and launched. Good learnings!
