Division/Committee: [ENVR] Division of Environmental Chemistry

The sustainability of various infrastructures like water and wastewater treatment facilities ot energy production systems is equestioned in this carbon-neutral-emphacizing era. Although water infra is asked to supply adequate and crystal clean water, it is asked to use minimal resources and energy. In addition, alternative fuels are desired for energy supply. In order to meet the social demand and make the infrastructures sustainable, a better understaing of the fundamental chemistry beneath them is required. In this symposium, critical issues in developing sustainable infrastructures are discussed. Then, the role of chemistry in resolving the issues and eventually developing the sustainable infrastructures is identified.
