THE UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) has launched a campaign aiming to deliver a Fellowship that is “Fit for the Future” – one that “embodies the full breadth and diversity of engineering excellence” – by 2026, RAEng’s 50th anniversary year. To achieve this, it has set the goal that at least half of all elected candidates will come from target groups.
ICHEME has approved the Bulk Storage Operator Technician level 3 diploma of high hazards training provider Reynolds Training Services, which is the first level 3 diploma to be approved by IChemE.
FOLLOWING its announcement in February to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner, BP has revealed its net zero strategy. The plan includes many shorter-term objectives, including cutting oil and gas production by 40% by 2030.

2015 marks the centenary of the Great Shell Crisis of World War I (WWI), in which the British Army was running short of munitions. The subsequent scaling up of the supply of high explosives and propellants became a major achievement of the embryonic chemical engineering profession under the leadership of Kenneth Bingham Quinan.
For a series called Chemical Engineers who Changed the World, it would be downright rude not to feature the man who is widely regarded as the founding father of the discipline and the spiritual father of IChemE.
No chemical engineering feat better illustrates the double-edged nature of many inventions than the Haber-Bosch process.
