The "sustainable energy" is the energy that is produced and used in ways that support long-term human development in the social, economic and ecological.
Access to energy, including sustainable energy, is inseparable from a sustainable future for the developing world. Access to energy transforms the lives of those who lack energy resources and improve their living standards.
Energy services have a profound effect on productivity, health, education, climate change, food security and water and communication services. Lack of access to clean energy, affordable and reliable hinders social and economic development. Some 1,400 million people lack access to modern energy, while 3,000 million depend on "traditional biomass" and coal as the main energy sources.
Biodiesel appears as an alternative to petroleum fuels, but no longer controversial.
This topic has aroused the curiosity of many people, and so I consider it is important that teachers of chemistry are informed about biodiesel production enterprises in our country. This is an important issue that can be worked in different years of high school.
the main producer of biodiesel production in Uruguay is the plant of the company ALUR. For further information about biodiesel production look at an interesting video in the following link:
