Prototyping of biodigesters to raise awareness and disseminate the 2030 Agenda in an educational environment

Abstract

With the huge problems presented in communities, the biodigester has become a viable solution for many of these problems, mainly for the generation of clean and renewable energies. The biodigester, in addition to energy, contributes to the sanitation of homes, preservation of the water system, reduction of disease contamination among living beings. The present work aims to show the development of low cost biodigester prototypes with the proposal of scientific dissemination, sensitizing students about renewable energies, allowing inserting the study of environmental education. In addition, it aims to contextualize and promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4, 7 and 11 in school environments. This work was carried out based on an extensive research on the topics addressed in this work, which highlighted the methods and materials used in the assembly and monitoring of a prototype of biodigester for data collection and the application of awareness about renewable energies with students. The proposal presented by the research was concluded, showing the benefits that addressing important issues for society in a simpler and more accessible way, scientifically disseminating how the research and its respective results were carried out. With the context and promotion of the 2030 Agenda, it was observed that, in order to reach the SDGs, the collective engagement of the whole community and education is necessary, it is the starting point of sustainable learning.
