Innovative and Sustainable Chemical Engineering​ master's programme at Chalmers

Developing the processes that convert commodities into finished products, decreasing the use of scarce natural resources and fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable alternatives, turning waste into new products, minimizing emissions and developing the next generation of exhaust after-treatment and renewable fuels. These are some examples of where Chemical engineers play a central role in developing the processes and products needed for the transition to a sustainable society.

The courses cover the basis of sustainable technology, the production of renewable materials and the efficient use of energy. More in-depth knowledge is obtained through three profile tracks within the programme: Sustainable development, Modelling and Design and Forest Based Products and Related Processes. Biorefinery, CFD- Computational Fluid Dynamics and Process Analytical Technology are examples of courses focusing on emerging fields for Chemical Engineers.

After the programme, you will have:

  • Comprehensive knowledge of chemical engineering subjects central to the production of materials and energy.
  • The ability to design and evaluate sustainable and innovative processes and systems.
  • The ability to plan, perform and evaluate experiments on the lab, pilot and plant scale.
  • Competence in performing and critically analysing advanced technical modelling and simulations of chemical phenomena and processes.
  • Develop new sustainable chemical products and processes
  • Identify environmental and sustainability limitations and possibilities of processes
  • Competence in selecting sustainable pathways and processes for efficient utilization of biomass
