The article offers information on Great Britain Government has released its long-awaited Energy White Paper on how the country's energy system will transition to net zero by 2050. Topics include the paper builds on the Government's ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, and the covers areas including moving away from fossil fuels, increased use of renewables, support for more electric cars, and greener domestic heating.

The article explores how to utilize nuclear to support Great Britain net zero strategy, and leadership team at the University of Manchester's Dalton Nuclear Institute has released a position paper outlining key actions for net zero by 2050. Topics include how nuclear could support the net zero target in the context of overall energy usage; and Climate Change Committee (CCC) explores the possibilities of nuclear contributing to net zero.

The article discusses strategies to sustainable water delivery, citing the Green Paper published by the British Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). Political, technological and economic dimensions of water management are discussed. Major issues encountered in sustainable development are controlling infectious diseases, minimizing the transfer of environmental costs and establishing the practice of sustainable consumption. Reductionist approach to problem solving is also discussed.

The article reports on the Industrial Strategy green paper published by the Royal Academy of Engineers (RAEng) for the Great Britain with aspects from professional engineers such as Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE); and consideration of improvement approaches for energy efficiency.

The article discusses issues involving peer reviewed scientific papers, particularly in Great Britain. According to Leonor Sierra of the lobby group Sense About Science, peer review is a good start in achieving good research article. The lobby group aims to ensure that any talk about science is factual. It cites the report by the British government's Science and Technology Committee, which claimed that peer review of scientific papers is not satisfactory.

The article discusses three papers published in the 2009 editions of Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) journals "Chemical Engineering Research and Design," "Food and Bioproducts Processing," and "Process Safety and Environmental Protection." The papers were written by Kevin Wall of the University of Manchester, Evan Mistoulis of the National Technical University of Athens in Greece, and Refaul Ferdous, Faisal Khan, and Brian Veitch of the Memorial University of Newfoundland and Paul Amyotte of Dalhousie University in Canada.

This section offers updates on chemical engineering that were published in journals from the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). 31 papers have been presented at the 13th European conference on mixing that was held at King's College London in England on April 14-17. A paper was published in the journal "Food and Bioproducts Processing" in which its authors discussed the production of dietary fibre powder associated with antioxidant activity produced from cabbage outer leaves.

The article focuses on the changes to the British energy planning system that is being proposed in the Planning White Paper 2007 to address climate change and energy security. The document highlights that since 2003, there has been growing evidence and calls to mitigate man-made climate change. It notes that the government plans to support tidal and offshore wind energy. It cites the reaction of environmentalists and proponents of nuclear and carbon capture and storage (CCS) to the paper.

The article addresses the growing waste industry in Great Britain. A key factor to the development of a successful recycling infrastructure is efficient processing of waste recyclables. One of the main ways of garbage collection is kerb-side sorting collection. The article looks at different recyclable materials in Great Britain including paper, glass and metals.

The article reports that the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is supporting a British House of Lords white paper that criticizes the government's immigration policy, which it says discourages scientists, engineers, and international students.

The author reflects on the importance of chemical engineering education. Information on the white paper issued by the British government on higher education is provided. According to the author, there is a need for academic units providing education to future chemical engineers to ensure that they provide value for money and enhance the student experience in the current challenging environment. She also stresses the need for educators to foster inquisitiveness and innovation in their students.

The article focuses on the "Driving in the Right Direction" report of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) in Great Britain released on October 29, 2008. It shows the group's work on sustainability and sustainable chemical technology through the "Engineers for Sustainable Energy" forum, on energy through the "Biofuels Compendium," and on water through a water green paper made by IChemE members in Australia. In education and training, IChemE launched training products such as the Fundamentals of Process Safety course.
