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.

Inclined plane

We live in crisis, but it is not new. Today is a pandemic, tomorrow a new economic crisis and the climate crisis continues to worsen. The state may not only serve for temporary emergencies and the state that this has reached is a structural crisis. It is possible to resolve an economic crisis by also leaving the climate crisis fairly.

Pioneering recycling: deposit return on campus and across Portugal

Demand for single-use cans and bottles is growing each year, but many of these containers end up in our oceans, streets, and landfills. Deposit return systems seek to combat this waste by offering a financial incentive for consumers to return their empty beverage containers for recycling. As Portugal gets ready to launch national deposit return legislation, Nova SBE is pioneering its own container deposit program.
