[EN] The standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) lay down that one of the keys to combining learners¿ knowledge and skills is the implementation of new more student-centred methodologies, and learning based on competences. One of the most widely used and effective active learning methodologies is Project-Based Learning (PBL). This is a practical pedagogical methodology in which the student carries out a project focused on solving a real problem by applying the theoretical concepts from a practical point of view. In this work, projects implanted using the PBL methodology are aligned with the Agenda 2030. This Agenda for Sustainable Development, approved in 2015, establishes that the universities must play a major role in compliance with it, in due consideration of their responsibility in relation to training, research, relations with society and a model for higher education governance. This agenda contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This proposal is focused on Goal 7, ¿Affordable and Clean Energy¿. In the framework of the PBL methodology and integrating the SDGs of the Agenda 2030, the main goal of this work is the development of project-based learning in the subject "Energy and Sustainable Development" in the bachelor¿s degree in Energy Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The paper described the developed methodology, the results achieved and the initial conclusions obtained.
