Chemical engineers, climate change and sustainability: a formula for smart solutions that will definitely do more with less
Deep cuts in emissions will be required to stabilise the effects of climate change. No single path will deliver this goal sustainably, ie with due regard to environmental, societal and economic factors. We are likely to see a significant development of new processing, abatement and storage technologies and these will all demand more rather than less chemical engineering. Chemical Engineers in teaching, research and industry will all need to rise to the challenge.
