Energy for chemical engineering - Chemical engineering for energy

Vision

The energy transition and the mitigation of the CO₂ emissions are key challenges for the chemical engineering community. On the one hand, energy is the main driver of the chemical industry and on the other hand, chemical engineering is a key discipline for the supply of energy services. These include the energy conversion, the CO₂ capture and reuse and the integration of renewable energy sources. The EFCE Energy Section concerns the key contributors of chemical engineering in the energy sector and the key aspects of energy for chemical engineering.

Mission

• to reinforce European cooperation and professional activity within the EFCE community on the topic of energy.
• to provide a discourse platform within the EFCE on opportunities and challenges that energy poses to the professional community of chemical engineers in Europe.
• to share the considerable knowledge  among EFCE members with respect to the process industry.
• to identify and co-operate with key actors and allies to support the energy transition for a more efficient and decarbonized use of resources and energy in the European society.
• to promote active cooperation of experts from different working parties and other sections.
• to provide decision makers in business, society and politics with reliable knowledge support.
• to educate a new generation of chemical engineers as well as current engineers and to meet the challenges of the energy transition .

Structure

The Energy Section is organized into 7 topics under two major themes:

Energy in chemical engineering

• Topic 1: Energy and resource efficiency in the chemical and process industry
• Topic 2: Energy conversion, renewable energy and CO₂ mitigation
• Topic 3: Waste-water-energy nexus

Chemical engineering in energy

• Topic 4: Chemical engineering for fuels and transportation
• Topic 5: Biofuels and biorefineries
• Topic 6: CO₂ capture & reuse
• Topic 7: Energy storage & electrochemical processes
