Jeet Bindra Distinguished Lecture 2024
Talk Title: The Carbon Challenge: Background, Current Status and Evolving Carbon Capture Technologies
Abstract - The explosive increase in fossil fuels use during the last two centuries has resulted in CO₂ accumulation in earth’s atmosphere. This buildup of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, is causing global warming that is playing havoc with climate patterns and threatening human welfare. The Paris accord on climate stipulates that the global temperature increase by the end of 21^st century be limited below 1.5˚ C to prevent a disastrous change in the climate..

Chemineers Society is organizing a workshop on Process Modeling in ASPEN

C.V. Seshadri Distinguished Lecture 2024
Talk Title: Understanding CO₂ Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) from a Sustainability Viewpoint
Abstract - Global CO₂ emission has touched ~40 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, and despite all the talk about net zero CO₂ emission, the rate of CO₂ emission is expected to stay at the current level for few more years. While role of solar, wind, hydro/waves, hydrogen etc (perhaps nuclear as well)..

Research Scholars’ Day 2024
Research Scholar Day is a yearly one-day event, which showcases the original research of graduate students in the chemical engineering department. The purpose of this symposium is to facilitate scientific discussion, foster student-faculty interactions, and provide a platform for students to present their work to a wider audience. Eminent researchers are invited to deliver lectures every year as part of the plenary talks for the research scholar.

We cordially invite you to the Inauguration of EXERGY'24
EXERGY'24 is a second edition of nationwide Chemical Engineering festival in India organised by Chemineers Society, IIT Kanpur, where the concept of Exergy extends beyond thermodynamics to symbolize the realization of our full potential as Chemical Engineering students.
📅 Date: March 2nd 2024
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM
📍 Venue: L18

Cipher (EXERGY'24)
As the name suggests, it is an Exergy Cipher, you need to encode (google around) the snippets and collect information in this case, find the logic, get to the answer, and submit it.
You will get a lot of questions all at once, most of which will be based on books, movies, and other forms of media (can be a cryptic clue as well) and they point to results which would somehow lead to names of characters, political or non-political personalities, contributors of engineering, recent discoveries, etc.

Optimisation (EXERGY'24)
Optimisation is a competition organized by the Chemineers Society as part of its annual Chemical Engineering Fest EXERGY. It comprises a variety of mathematical and logical optimization tasks pertaining either to the general domain or chemical engineering and allied subjects. It challenges participants to devise novel approaches for optimizing general problems or certain chemical operations.

ChemE Startup Pitch (EXERGY'24)
We're calling on all aspiring chemical engineers and innovators to showcase their problem-solving prowess. If you have a brilliant idea that leverages chemical engineering knowledge to address a pressing issue, this is your chance to shine.
Teams of up to four members, including a team captain, can participate in two rounds of competition: Preliminary and Final.

Case Study Challenge (EXERGY'24)
A flagship competition organized by the Chemineers Society, is set to unfold as a pivotal event during the annual Chemical Engineering Fest, EXERGY, at IIT Kanpur. This dynamic competition invites participants to engage with a statement related to chemical engineering, where they will not only craft a compelling abstract but also present their innovative ideas on the campus stage.

Happy Hour
Chemineers Society brings back our traditional event, "Happy Hour," an informal interactive session between professors and students. This is a great chance to have an informal interaction on countless topics with your department community, be it students (seniors/juniors/colleagues) or professors.
Mark your calendars!!
Hope to see you all in large numbers.
