Training
The Sustainability Hub has a growing collection of on-demand training courses ready for you to further your knowledge and understanding around subjects that can contribute to sustainable development. These courses are currently offered free of charge to IChemE members and for purchase by non-members.
Our courses are designed specifically for chemical engineers. They are delivered online, completed at your own pace, and allow you to learn interactively in bite-sized chunks.

Food Structures for a Sustainable World
Understanding and manipulating food microstructures is essential for achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). This course explores how promoting and achieving sustainable methods in the food industry supports SDG2 (zero hunger), SDG3 (good health and wellbeing) and SDG13 (climate action).
Sustainable Process Integration for Cleaner Process Design
By making use of PI chemical engineers can design cleaner, more sustainable processes that reduce consumption, ensure maximum recovery of resources and reduce harmful emissions in process plants, in order to help achieve the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The Circular Economy for Chemical Engineers
Traditional business models in the process industry are primarily based around a linear consumption model. This course will help chemical engineers understand the circular economy in the process industry as well as their role and responsibilities within material flow systems.
The Human Water Cycle: Water and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse
Chemical engineers have a role to play in optimising water and wastewater treatment and in minimising their impact on the environment. This course covers the why, what and how of not only treatment, but water as a whole, through the human water cycle.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Chemical Engineers
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic tool that evaluates environmental impacts over the life cycle of a product or service. As the Sustainability Hub assists chemical engineers in supporting the UN Sustainability Development Goals, this training course will be a key knowledge strand that has the potential to influence them all.
An Introduction to Sustainability
It is important that chemical engineers have a basic understanding of sustainability and their role in it. This course will provide you with an introduction to the key issues and help you to achieve your sustainability goals.
Ethical Decision-Making for Chemical Engineers
Ethical decision-making is a vital part of a chemical engineer’s responsibility. This course will equip you with the basic knowledge you need to understand and make ethical decisions.
