New energy from waste training free to IChemE members
28th May 2025
IChemE has launched a new Energy from Waste on-demand training course as part of its Sustainability Hub. The course is free to IChemE members and will help registrants understand the key concepts of turning waste into a reliable energy source.
The course explores the breadth of activities that come under the term ‘energy from waste’ and evaluates the advantages and challenges of these from a sustainability perspective. It includes practical examples that demonstrate how to adopt an energy from waste system.
Trish Melton, Chair of the IChemE Sustainability Hub Technical Advisory Group, says the course will be of interest to chemical engineers involved in front end design, environmental assessment, energy efficiency schemes and waste minimisation: “The course is particularly useful to chemical engineers and senior managers seeking to understand the complexities of energy from waste and how they might strategically consider it for their business.
“Energy transition will continue to be one of the most challenging societal issues in the coming decades – guaranteeing energy access, at affordable consumer prices with the lowest adverse environmental footprint,” adds Melton.
To access this FREE member benefit, IChemE members can find the free registration code on IChemE Connect in the announcements section, or by contacting membersupport@icheme.org. The course is also available to non-members for £99 + VAT and on a company license/multi-user basis.
All Sustainability Hub courses are free to IChemE members. courses include:
- An Introduction to Sustainability
- Circular Economy for Chemical Engineers
- Ethical Decision-Making for Chemical Engineers
- Food Structures for a Sustainable World
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Chemical Engineers
- Sustainable Process Integration for Cleaner Process Design
- The Human Water Cycle: Water and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse
The Sustainability Hub’s purpose is to deliver a sustainability knowledge resource for IChemE members and the broader community.

What is chemical engineering?
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, mathematics and economics in the process of turning raw materials into everyday, and more specialist, products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Energy, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the industry sectors and products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
IChemE
The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) advances chemical engineering's contribution for the benefit of society. We facilitate the development of chemical engineering professionals and provide connections to a powerful network of around 32,000 members in more than 100 countries.
We support our members in applying their expertise and experience to make an influential contribution to solving major global challenges, and are the only organisation permitted to award Chartered Chemical Engineer status and Professional Process Safety Engineer registration.
