Final Year Research Design Project – Biofuel Design for the United Kingdom My final year design project was on the best environmentally friendly energy for the UK market and the process by which it would be manufactured. My design team was required to produce a technical and economic report on the best renewable energy for the UK market taking into account the current needs and those which are likely to be significant in the medium and long term. Extensive research and designs carried out on various renewable energy sources and methods used by it. A Biodiesel plant was chosen and a plant for its production was designed to satisfy a portion of the UK energy sector.
