On the 7th of November 2023, the Chemical Engineering Society hosted the first climate café. This event was made to create a space for civilised and thought-provoking conversations about climate action with lots of food and drink on offer. The event was a huge success, due to the large attendance of students, alumni, research staff, and former oil and gas employees, all contributing to a wide range of perspectives. A key point discussed was the effect of fossil fuel companies on Chemical Engineering and their future role. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) was also discussed with students questioning whether it is helping or delaying the energy transition. Students and research staff pointed out that CCS could play a crucial role in decarbonising heavy industries where no sustainable alternatives exist. Other discussion points included oil and gas companies’ sponsored visas for international students, the Chemical Engineering Society’s efforts in expanding sustainable sponsorships, and the integration of sustainability within the academic curriculum. The Chemical Engineering Society aspires to organise a similar event next academic year and we look forward to seeing you there.
