Making energy available to society requires finding and producing fuel, improving the efficiency of energy use under the ultimate limits imposed by thermodynamics, and reducing the effects of these processes on the environment. Chemical engineers are working to design new processes to produce less waste, as well as developing alternative energy sources and assessing the effects of pollutants on human health.
