On September 6, 2023, the Environmental Testing Laboratory Center (ETLC), School of Energy and Environment, University of Phayao, led by Asst. Prof. Dr. Supreeda Homklin, who heads ETLC, collaborated with a team of scientists to offer training focused on instructing individuals on the preparation and analysis of the heat energy value of fuel briquettes made from waste materials. This training involved the use of a bomb calorimeter and was part of a research project titled "Investigating the Efficiency of Materials for Producing Fuel Pellets as a Means to Reduce Agricultural Waste, such as Corn Cobs and Coffee Grounds, and Mitigate Potential Smog Issues." The project was carried out by students from Wang Nuea Wittaya School, with acknowledged a positive and enthusiastic response from all the participants involved.
Such collaborative efforts, ETLC and secondary schools can inspire young students to trace of study and careers in science and environmental while making meaningful contributions to local communities as well.
