ECO- SCHOOL on the Costa del Sol










This summer, chemistry teacher Sean Johnson purchased a British made processor, to convert waste cooking oil for Sotogrande International College, in Southern Spain to biodiesel to run the school’s buses.

The initiative, which is part of an international program to make schools energy efficient, is the first in Spain.

A sustainable journey may well result in tremendous savings, as the cost of running the school buses can be reduced by almost 80 % to some 25 €cents per litre, miles away from the average €1.20 the school used to pay for fossil fuel.
