Right now, energy efficiency hasn\u2019t proved to be effective because of certain reasons but Chemical Engineers can make it possible by taking it as their first priority.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/oisp.hcmut.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Energy-Efficiency.jpg” alt=”7-ways-Chemical-Engineers-can-save-the-world-from-global-climate-change-Energy-Efficiency” title_text=”7-ways-Chemical-Engineers-can-save-the-world-from-global-climate-change-Energy-Efficiency” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”80%” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||8px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||5px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Energy Efficiency<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||5px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||10px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n High amount of Carbon has the most impact on climate change. Instead of using fossil fuels, with high carbon emissions, for energy requirements, solar and wind energy as a renewable source of energy can be used for the betterment of nature. Chemical Engineers are working effectively to produce cost efficient renewable energy technologies, and enhance productivity to make the technology more common.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/oisp.hcmut.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture-renewable.png” alt=”7-ways-Chemical-Engineers-can-save-the-world-from-global-climate-change-Renewable” title_text=”7-ways-Chemical-Engineers-can-save-the-world-from-global-climate-change-Renewable” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”80%” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||8px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||5px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Renewable Energy<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||5px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||15px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n If we keep using fossil fuels for producing electricity, we need to decarbonize the production process. For this the carbon capture & storage<\/u> (CCS<\/strong>) plays an important role as a technological solution. Chemical Engineers today are capable of using this technology. CCS produces climate change benefits as a result of reduced CO2\u00a0emissions<\/strong>. These benefits significantly reduce climate-related damage to human health.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”10px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||8px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||15px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Nuclear energy is becoming very popular in this era for production of electricity. It is already playing an important role in decarbonizing the world\u2019s energy sector. There is no carbon emission during the energy production from Nuclear, which makes it safe and clean energy source. Chemical Engineers are crucial for the production of Nuclear energy, they design Nuclear reactors and also ensure the standards of safety, efficiency and environmental protection are met.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”10px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||0px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||15px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Agriculture, Forestry and Land use are one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters, which counts from 18-20% of GHG<\/strong> emissions<\/strong>. Food system as a whole, such as food processing, packaging, refrigeration and transport accounts for almost one-quarter of GHG emissions<\/strong>, because of the population growth and dietary preferences vary. Chemical Engineers have the potential to enhance the way we produce food by making it more efficient. For instance, by making fertilizers with low-energy and reusing food waste are the roles of chemical engineers for the production of sustainable energy. \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”10px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||0px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||8px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||15px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n The global pressure of water energy and food is increasing drastically with the population growth. The relation among water, food and energy means that these three sectors should be considered as related units and not separate from each other. They are inextricably linked, with actions in one affecting one or both of the others. Chemical Engineers must think of this in delivering sustainable solutions while dealing with any of the three. Chemical Engineers play a pivotal role in delivering sustainable solutions at the water-energy-food nexus.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||8px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||15px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Check –\u00a0Textile wastewater treatment by nanomaterials – a scientific research of HCMUT – Bach Khoa students.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||0px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||10px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Making use of chemical engineering can yield efficient systems that work towards sustainability.
