This needs industrial interaction, should be encouraged through establishment and generous support of programs like NSF GOALI Catalytic upgrading of bioplatform molecules Processes are not competitive, but regulations are pulling to phase out use of oil and even natural gas Food engineering and sustainable technologies -- innovated food technologies geared toward maternal and child health for local and global development supporting UNSDGs 2&17 Reducing water use across industries Unit ops and processes in water are 100 years or older with little innovation. Need to rethink priorities at national education level to revitalize critical thinking and research in water use and unit operations/processes Ensure a better future Changing long established practices and adopting new approaches and technologies Safe, efficient, environmentally sound petrochemicals production

326 New Directions for Chemical Engineering Mitigate the human damage to the Free market capitalism and engineering ecosystems triumphalism Electrocatalysts will play an increasingly important role for fuel cells and electrolyzers for water-splitting to generate hydrogen and reducing CO2. Developing means for the efficient capture of CO2 and its conversion to chemicals holds immense opportunity Manufacturing provides more GDP impact Need government to actively maintain a level and better salaries overall compared to playing field and use tariffs, etc., to enforce it, service and other industries.

Computational tools are revolutionizing our understanding of gene regulation Manufacturing process, introduction of technology in industry Circular economy Material balance, recycling, the chemistry for producing certain materials Reliance on recycling is replacing only use of raw materials The production of commodity fuels from hydrocarbon sources is fading and will become, at best, like paper production today. Sustainability and life-cycle metrics will drive innovation, and transportation fuels from HC fails these tests.
