This module aims to equip students with knowledge and understanding of sustainable development in industrial systems, and to provide approaches to design and assess for sustainability.  The module also encompasses large-scale experimental work relevant to industrial practice in relation to sustainability.
The module introduces the concepts of sustainability and carbon and water footprints, overview renewable energy processes and carbon capture technologies and examine selected examples in detail, apply process integration methodologies in design for sustainability and introduce techno-economic and life cycle assessments.  The module also exposes students to experimental group work involving large scale equipment relevant to the technologies, industries and methodologies introduced in the module.

It is a condition of accreditation to notify the RSC of any changes to an accredited degree.
Reaccreditation due 2023/24.
