With the core message “Let’s innovate together!”, iTalk (short for Innovation Talk) is hosting a series of interactive sessions or 'learning labs' where current iBoP Asia grantees and partners will have the chance to present their innovations to and get feedback from students and faculty members of the School of Science and Engineering (SoSE) of the Ateneo de Manila.

For this session, Dr. Manuel Biona, director of the Center for Research & Training of DBTC, will present their study on the processing and promotion of waste cooking oil as an alternative fuel for the jeepney, the most popular public utility vehicle in the Philippines. Pilot commercial demonstrations of the waste cooking oil fuel are currently being done in partnership with the local jeepney association and the municipal government of Los Baños, Laguna.This study is being undertaken with support from iBoP Asia.
