The Future of Mankind –
Technology & Innovation
focuses
on securing sustainable energy supplies, food and nutrition, access to clean
water, health and wellbeing, green revolution and pollution solutions.
Human knowledge is growing very fast. The world consist very rapid technical change
and hyper economy.
It’s a major global challenge
They enhanced the quality of life for humankind, the industrial
revolution has brought to mankind can be attributed to the work of chemical
engineers
The day will come when chemical plant can release to the environment only
water and carbon dioxide, both in controlled quantities. Professional bodies
can be powerful factors.
This will be a key area in the future, where chemical engineers can
have a huge role driving these processes further to achieve better results.
The Future that
Chemical engineering leads to:
1.
Genetic
Transformation
In the future, human may be the superman or heroes like in fiction that futurist have been dreaming of.
Besides, this will help growing plants than have been genetically engineered to grow therapeutic proteins, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Chemical engineers are already working on producing tobacco plants that have been engineered to grow the antibodies for the ebola serum.
2. Space Fuel Processor
3.
Atomic powered home
The
creation of nuclear plants for generating electricity, we fantasized about a
future in personal nuclear reactors would be commonplace gadgets.
There
was some movement to create 'mini-reactors' that might power small communities
or even homes.
4.
Nano-manufacturer
With advances in nanotechnology already offering a huge range of nanoscale processes, a new group of nano-chemical engineers will be required to manufacture these systems.
This explosion of technological advances in nanotechnology will lead to opportunities arising for chemical engineers to lead the way.
5.
Nuclear fusion
It has always been treated as the solution to the energy crisis as it is meant to be constantly productive and extremely clean. It had achieved a technological breakthrough that will enable it to build compact fusion reactors, small enough to fit on the back of a truck, within a decade. The application of this technology could truly revolutionise the world in which we live.
6.
Uranium Recycler
Alternative energies like solar, wind, tidal and hydrogen are going to become increasingly important. But currently strategy highlights the leading role nuclear energy will have. However, current thinking is that a shortage of uranium damages this plan.
Chemical engineers, working as uranium recyclers, will be needed to convert bomb-grade uranium from warheads into low-enriched uranium for use in nuclear power plants to ensure that the uranium shortage does not cause an energy crisis
7.
Future Medicines
& Food Pills
We thinking
about creating miniaturized, 100-percent synthetic food from chemicals, so it
could be consumed in tablet or capsule form.
While others
saw it as a way to feed the planet's growing population without overtaxing farm
soil or other natural resources eventually would create 'food pills that would
contain everything necessary for life.
The wonder of new drugs invention that treat serious
illness and improve lifescene.
8.
3D Printer
chemical engineers are driving this
technology forward. These devices can build objects from digital
blueprints – usually by layering plastic or other materials. 3D printer has
came into everyday reality.
9.
Green Process Engineer
The focus of all chemical engineers is to work sustainably.
Corporations and consumers worldwide are increasingly embracing green
technology we achievements in sustainable technology, water management and
energy efficiency.This is not a new area but I can only see these roles becoming increasingly important as new processes are used. Green process engineers will develop environmentally benign chemical processes and products, select processes that minimise pollution, use less hazardous materials and develop alternative reactions. This will all need to be done while meeting emerging regulations and laws.
