Conference Goal

_

Iraq is one of the world’s largest crude oil producers, with proven reserves estimated at around 150 billion barrels. Crude oil production is a crucial component of the country’s energy mix and a significant source of export revenue and domestic energy supply. The great importance of the oil industry in Iraq has been reflected in some of the requirements and challenges facing this industry in the country. Some of these requirements include extraction, refining, and environmental pollution for various types of oil production. Plus, maintain the sustainability of this industry. Therefore, it was necessary to focus on research of petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical, and develop techniques for treating different petroleum pollutants with adverse environmental effects, As well as research in the fields of alternative energy.

SPCEPE-2023 conference aims to provide a platform for researchers, academics, and industry professionals to discuss and exchange ideas on the latest developments in sustainability perspectives in the fields of applied engineering sciences and to exchange experiences in the fields of chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering. The SPCEPE-2023 conference will promote the adoption of sustainable practices and technologies and seek to foster collaboration between researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to promote sustainable development.

Sustainability Perspective in Chemical, Environmental, and Petroleum Engineering

_

Chemical Engineering Perspective

Chemical Engineering provides industry and government agencies with competent and socially responsible engineers who are critical in driving human excellence and developing equitable engineering solutions.

The aims are developing innovative technological solutions to overcome complex, critical scientific issues and technological problems through catalysis and reactions, advanced materials and polymers, energy production processes, simulation and computational modeling, fabrication, and applications of membranes, nanotechnology, purification technologies, and others.

To contribute to sustainability, chemical engineering needs to develop chemical products and processes that meet the needs of present and future generations. The items relating to sustainability are alternate energy sources (like solar and wind), alternate feedstock for energy, alternate raw materials, green processes with minimal environmental impact, recycling, quality water, food, and medicines, reducing waste and shipping weight by concentrating products without sacrificing quality or stability, optimizing a process to be more economical, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient, improving carbon capture and storage and water treatment technologies, replacing petroleum-based products such as plastics with plant-based materials that perform as well or better.

Environmental Engineering, Sustainability, and Science

Environment and Sustainability Engineering is the type of engineering that seeks to undo past damage to the planet and work with the natural environment to create a better future for humanity. Sustainability addresses the capacity of society to improve quality of life while preserving the availability and quality of its natural resources. As the world’s population increases under the effects of climate change, engineers face new and evolving challenges with sustainability and the health of our natural and built environment.

The aims are to meet emergent and dynamic challenges of environmental stewardship and sustainability, and focuses on:

  • Water Resources Engineering, Science, and Sustainability.

  • Water Treatment.

  • Climate Change Adaptation, Energy Systems Analysis and Sustainability.

  • Systems Modeling and Optimization (Water, Climate, Automation).

  • Nanotechnology and Biotechnology

  • Remediation Engineering.

  • Air Pollution Engineering, Science, and Modeling.

  • Sustainable Materials and Computational Performance Modeling.

Sustainability and the Role of Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of Hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. Petroleum has played a vital role in the advancement of modern industrial society and has extended benefits to unprecedented (and growing) numbers of people.

The term sustainability has often been narrowed to refer to the mere longevity of an organization, group, or profits. Likewise, this term has somehow pitted the valued petroleum resource against what are still speculative technologies (i.e. the alternatives) rather than addressing how we must judiciously use petroleum now to benefit our future.

Environmental problems demand greater attention. Petroleum engineers need to be at the center of the debate and planning:

  • Maximizing the value of increasingly precious oil and natural gas production, while mitigating environmental impacts, and seeking ways to optimize the use of petroleum.

  • Supporting local development of petroleum energy sources in developing countries.

  • Finding ways to extend the use of oil and gas, while supporting the market entry of new energy sources through creatively hybridized systems.
