Summary
Sustainability is an undeniably important issue that any educator who teaches green chemistry must at some point address. This collection of web resources is not only a great reference to aid in curriculum preparation, but it also briefly discusses some of the challenges that the world faces in light of limited resources and a growing population.
The review includes a short summary of green chemistry, renewable energy sources, liquid fuels from biomass (i.e. methanol, ethanol and butanol) and biodiesel. Each of the abovementioned topics are accompanied by a list of web resources.
The information in this article would be particularly useful for anyone who is teaching a class or a lab that focuses on the synthesis of biodiesel or biodegradable polymers.
Summary prepared for the original GEMs database October 2008 by Douglas M. Young at the University of Oregon.
