Abstract
Green chemical engineering combines the principles of chemistry and engineering with a focus on sustainability, aiming to develop processes that minimize environmental impact while maintaining efficiency and economic feasibility. By incorporating green chemistry principles, such as reducing hazardous chemicals, minimizing waste, and using renewable feedstocks, chemical engineers are at the forefront of designing sustainable industrial processes. This article explores the role of chemical engineering in achieving sustainability goals, highlighting recent innovations in green chemical processes, the use of alternative feedstocks, and energy-efficient technologies. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities in integrating green chemistry with industrial practices and the future of green chemical engineering in the global push toward environmental sustainability.
