Abstract

Used cooking oil (UCO) from institutional kitchens poses environmental and health risks if improperly disposed of. This community programme, jointly organised by Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya and Politeknik Malaysia Merlimau, aimed to introduce a simple method for converting UCO into solid soap, an eco-friendly and economically valuable product. The activity employed an applied mixed-methods design, comprising pre-assessment, technical training, hands-on practice, and post-evaluation. Participants learned about UCO purification, saponification, and safe handling of NaOH. Results indicate a substantial increase in participants’ knowledge and awareness, with 100% of respondents demonstrating improved understanding of UCO hazards and soap-making procedures. Practical implementation was successful, yielding approximately 150 bars of solid soap during the workshop. All participants expressed willingness to continue soap production independently due to its low cost, environmental benefits, and potential for micro-enterprise. The programme demonstrates that simple, community-based technical interventions can effectively enhance practical competence and promote sustainable waste valorisation. This model shows strong potential for replication in similar educational and community settings.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect. Based on International Energy Agency (IEA) data, global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning energy and industrial activities will reach 36.8 billion tons in 2022. The increase in emissions in 2022 will mainly come from burning coal and fuel oil (Fuel Oil). Carbon dioxide emissions from coal rose 1.6% while fuel oil emissions increased 2.5%. One effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to convert carbon dioxide into methane gas (CH4) which can be used as fuel. This research aims to produce methane gas from carbon dioxide using Ni/Al2O3 catalyst treatment and varying CO2 flow rates. In this research, CO2 was used as a raw material with a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst and Zn metal. Based on the research results, the highest conversion yield of methane gas was 49.23% with a variation of 0.05 L/minute with Ni_R4 catalyst treatment
