o e o em ca ng neers nGreen Engineering-Todays

Challenge Green engineering includes production of energy and

materials from GREEN feed stocks such as biomassand microorganisms, with the intent of reducingenergy, waste, green house gases (GHG) and waterconsumption. The other contributions that reduceGHG emissions also support green engineering.

The objective is to curb GHG emissions to ratessustainable by the earths natural sequestrationsystems. Efficient use of fossil fuels and use ofrenewable energy are required to meet this goal.
