Sustainable Engineering Forum (SEF)
Achieving sustainable development with chemical engineering.
The SEF seeks collaborative work in programming and education objectives with other professional societies, both national and foreign. Specific focus areas of the forum include:
Using appropriate metrics for sustainability
Developing approaches for designing products and processes that can be optimized to desired metrics criteria and that incorporate environmental and societal benefit factors
Assessing impacts of resource use (energy, material, and cost) on environmental and social benefits (or otherwise) of products, processes, and services
Designing new processes or products that are comparatively benign (such as via green chemistry and engineering approaches)
Responding to socioeconomic measures such as emission trading
Developing educational materials related to the field
AIChE Sustainable Engineering Forum/Institute for Sustainability is a co-sponsor of the 31st Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals
