Green Chemistry, Decarbonizing

[epcotint]

I am presenting my perspective as I did not know where to post. If someone can direct me, it will be just wonderful. Thank you!

I am sure most of us have heard and/or read about “Green Chemistry (1998) ” (1), “Net Zero (2009)” (2) and then Decarbonizing” (3). Before we can tackle them we need to understand what do these mean and how they came about in chemical manufacturing processes needs to be understood. Before these words became in vogue environmental conservation has been the basic necessity of each process design and manufacture of every chemical but did not have high emphasis. Protecting our environment has been chemist and chemical engineer’s  legacy but the degree has varied. 

Please read the linked. Thank you!

Hello @epcotint ringsizechart ,
It sounds like you have a thoughtful perspective on environmental conservation in chemical manufacturing. If you're looking for a place to share your insights, consider posting on platforms like LinkedIn, relevant industry forums, or even submitting your thoughts to a journal or blog focused on environmental science and chemistry. 

Your blog post link is a great start! Sharing it on social media or with professional networks can also help reach a wider audience.


Best Regards,
James Goff

James:

Thank you for your suggestions. I have posted my perspectives on my blog, LinkedIn and various industry forums and shared them with Chemical Engineering, AIChE and ACS. 

I posted the linked on November 7, 2024. It might be of interest to you and other readers of this forum.

James Thank you! I have been posting my thoughts on LinkedIn and it’s various chemical and pharmaceutical related discussion forums as well as on AIChE websites. These posts are regularly sent to editors of C&E News, Chemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering Progress.

My conjecture is what I am suggesting which I have practiced in my 55+ years career is not Main Street or mainstream.
