  1. Sustainability and Decision-Making (CENG0062)

Description

Climate change induced by anthropogenic carbon emissions is arguably the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. To prevent and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, we are transitioning away from fossil fuels and other carbon-intensive technologies to low-carbon solutions. However, to ensure that future technologies are truly sustainable, they need to be assessed in terms of their technical feasibility as well as environmental, social and economic performance, using system thinking and a life-cycle perspective. This module will provide a comprehensive theoretical understanding and practical experience of the methodologies to evaluate the sustainability of processes and technologies, with specific examples and case studies for the engineering sciences from a range of relevant engineering disciplines.
