Verdant Solar x INTI :UCO to Biofuel

Verdant Solar and INTI University Students Team Up to Turn Used Cooking Oil into Biofuel for Charity

Verdant Solar worked together with students from INTI University on a project that promotes sustainability and community support. This project involved collecting Used Cooking Oil (UCO) and turning it into biofuel. This collaboration was a joint effort between the students from INTI, Verdant Solar, and FatHopes Energy. The main aim of this project was to promote sustainability by converting a common household waste, Used Cooking Oil (UCO), into biofuel. The money raised from selling the UCO to FatHopes Energy was donated to the Global Environment Centre (GEC), highlighting both environmental and social benefits.The students helped recycle 152 Kgs of UCO and exceeded their goal by 52%, showing the significant impact of their efforts.

The project was centered around a simple but powerful idea, adhering to proper disposal of UCO and educating the general population on it. Proper disposal of used cooking oil is very important. If not disposed of correctly, it can lead to water and soil pollution, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and harm to wildlife. Recycling oil into biodiesel or using recycling programs for disposal are good ways to reduce these problems. Such practices help protect the environment and promote sustainability.

The final part of the project took place at Verdant’s office in an elaborate and interactive presentation by students, where they shared their journey. The students talked about how they collected the oil, the problems they faced, and how they solved them. As we look to the future, projects like these will help create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly world.
