| 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 |
