About this ebook

Chemistry plays a critical role in addressing global sustainability challenges within engineering disciplines. Chemical principles combined with engineering practices may assist in the development of sustainable solutions for energy, materials, and environmental systems, including renewable materials, environmental remediation, and carbon reduction. These strategies can be integrated into industrial processes to align with the principles of the circular economy, lifecycle assessment, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As such, chemical principles encourage the adoption of greener industrial practices, contributing to reduced pollution, resource conservation, and climate change mitigation.

Sustainable Chemistry and Pioneering Green Engineering Solutions expands the understanding of how chemical principles drive sustainable engineering innovations, fostering interdisciplinary learning. It equips readers with the knowledge to design, implement, and optimize eco-friendly engineering solutions rooted in chemistry. Covering topics such as battery chemistry, nanocomposites, and biodegradable plastics, this book is an excellent resource for engineers, chemists, industry leaders, policymakers, environmental advocates, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
