Following a university course in chemical engineering, I hope to be able to develop new technologies which would benefit both people and the planet. I am concerned about environmental issues such as climate change and pollution currently facing our world. I hope to use engineering to resolve these problems while also improving people's lives. My project at my university was looking for sustainable and renewable approaches for energy production and/or environmental remediation is essential in the future.In the last few decades, a new sustainable technology has been explored which is known as photocatalysis (photocatalytic CO2 reduction) in which CO2 is reduced in the presence of water into various valuable products like methane (CH4), methanol (CH3OH), formaldehyde (HCHO), formic acid (HCOOH) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of a photocatalyst under light irradiation.
