In the early 1990's engineering professors began broadening their scope of actions by actively promoting and supporting novel and alternative energy options within professional societies, and among policy makers and government officials (local and state). A salient example was Dr. José Colucci (formerly with UPRM’s Chemical Engineering Department) who championed various energy initiatives in Puerto Rico such as biofuels, the use of fuel cells, multi-sector energy collaborations (university, industry and government) and forums to openly discuss polarizing energy topics such as waste to energy technologies.
