Key Challenges Energy Food & Nutrition Health & Wellbeing Water Chemical Engineering

A new South Africa, every nine months... nine billion humans by 2040 The scale of the challenge we face

The water challenge

The health challenge

The carbon challenge

Meeting global needs

Chemical engineering... The boundaryless profession

? A vision of the future

Chemical engineering making the vision a reality

Engineering Chemical engineering key to the future

Getting from here to there

Future Life process safety sustainability chemical engineering fundamentals: systems education, training & research multidisciplinarity & collaboration the ‘bio’ dimension essential issues and concerns energyfood & nutritionhealth & wellbeingwater key challenges

Chemical Engineering Matters Energy

Step change efficiency improvements Energy storage and grid management Resource efficiency and reduced consumption Next generation nuclear

Chemical Engineering Matters Food & nutrition

Improved energy recovery from waste streams Step change in waste minimisation Life cycle analysis of food chains

Chemical Engineering Matters Health & wellbeing

Paradigm shift in energy and resource efficiency Engagement with policy makers and opinion formers

Chemical Engineering Matters Water
