Inhoud

The students acquire an overall view of challenges facing the chemical industry to meet the sustainable development goals set out by the European green deal. They develop the skills to evaluate sustainable processes from a techno-economical perspective. The students obtain a critical mindset towards technical solutions to obtain sustainability goals.

Course content

  • Introduction to the causes of anthropogenic climate change
  • Problem description for chemicals industry in the framework of the European Green Deal
  • Legal framework and international context
  • Techno-economic analysis of sustainable technology (e.g. avoided cost of carbon)
  • Solutions for sustainable energy production (e.g. Carbon capture and storage, Hydrogen economy, Energy conservation and reduction)
  • Sustainable chemical processes (e.g. Novel and electrified of chemical processes, Biobased processes and feedstocks)
  • Sustainable feed stocks for chemical industry/Closing the loop (e.g. process technology for recycling, waste-to-chemical).
  • Sustainable production of metals and recycling
  • Contemporary industrial cases studies aligned with the sustainable development goals will discussed by industrial experts.

General Learning Outcomes

This teaching unit contributes to the following Learning outcomes:

- consciousness of the ethical, social, environmental and economic context of his/her work and strives for sustainable solutions to engineering problems including safety and quality assurance aspects

- a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry and society

- a critical attitude towards one’s own results and those of others

- think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information

- an attitude of life-long learning as needed for the future development of his/her career 

- present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience

- reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity)
