Goal of the EngD Sustainable Process Design 

Earth enfolded in leaves, held by hands

Sustainable process design describes concepts or strategies for the replacement of non-efficient and non-renewable production processes.

The goal of the EngD programme is to develop sustainable solutions for the industry, such as new process techniques and/or materials that significantly minimise the ecological footprint. There is a high demand for highly educated and specialised process engineers to help with transition to sustainable production processes.

Focus of the programme

The EngD Sustainable Process Design will focus on the education of process engineers who will develop sustainable processes and designs for industrial sectors such as chemistry, energy and more.

The aim of the EngD programme is to apply the learned theoretical expertise within a company design project. This project will be focused on new process strategies or concepts for cleaner and zero waste/emission production processes. This also includes improvement of processes for existing products by replacement of fossil-based materials with renewable materials.
