Reflection on microalgal system for hydrogen production
Context
This is reflection is on the microalgal system to produce hydrogen and its comparison to the conventional
steam reformer process for producing hydrogen. The aim was to determine the production of hydrogen
from a microalgal system through a steam reformer and critically analyze the process in terms of
produced carbon emissions and net energy requirements.
Thoughts and Feelings
I came to learn of the microalgal system with interest because, the system had the potential to produce
green hydrogen with zero percentage emissions and based on solar energy only. I felt that the system
offers good potential for this application in terms of sustainability and green energy goals; however, I
became a bit challenged by the low yield and expensive process. I felt determined to understand the
process better and find ways to improve it. This study on microalgal systems for hydrogen production has
been particularly interesting in light of my job applications in the oil industry. It's given me insight into
alternative energy production methods that could potentially complement or even replace traditional fossil
fuel processes in the future.
Evaluation
The microalgal system for hydrogen production comes with the potential to be a sustainable and green
solution for hydrogen production. But these objectives require tremendous improvements in the current
stage: processes that are both low-yielding and costly. The steam reformer process has high hydrogen
yield and very efficient characteristics, but it requires high energy consumption and yields high carbon
emissions. The carbon capture process saves some of the carbon dioxide, while on the other hand, most of
it is still emitted. My experience as a ceremonies organizer has made me more aware of the energy
requirements for large events. I've started to consider how innovative energy solutions, like microalgal
systems, could be incorporated into event planning to reduce carbon footprints.
Analysis
Incurring deep study of the topic, I was convinced and set my ambitions in bringing an improvement in
the process. The direction given by the module, being sustainable chemical engineering and focusing
around critical thinking and problem-solving, has helped direct me. The understanding of the concepts
and principles on hydrogen production was enhanced by the lecture classes and their notes accompanied
by the reading materials. During the sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait, I found myself
drawing comparisons between traditional energy production methods and these newer, more sustainable
approaches. It's clear that the industry is at a crossroads, with increasing pressure to adopt greener
technologies.
Reframe and Conclude
Now when I look back, I feel that I should have focused more on the application part of the microalgal
system and explored the possibility of upscaling the process. Also, I would research in time some
alternative methods for the production of hydrogen, such as dark fermentation. One would be to consider
the social and economic outcomes of implementing the system on a large scale. There could have been
more effort to get more resources and expertise in analyzing the process.Future Action
In case of such a situation, I will work out the development of a more critical and analytical perspective. I
will try to find several sources of information and expertise. I will strive to learn and develop more within
sustainable chemical engineering. I will also work more mindfully on the social and economic dimensions
reverberating because of the work, thus endeavoring to come up with innovative, sustainable solutions to
work with. I shall relate the concepts of sustainable chemical engineering to most of my future projects
and assignments. I will also aim to try and incorporate ideas of sustainability and green energy into my
most analysis and design of chemical processes. As I continue my job search and prepare for a potential
career in the oil industry, I feel better equipped to contribute to discussions about sustainable energy
solutions. I'm excited about the possibility of being part of the transition towards more environmentally
friendly energy production methods, even within traditional energy sectors.Title
The design and sustainability of green roofs
Context
I was tasked to design and assess the sustainability of green roofs as a kind of roofing system that
integrates vegetation and other features structure on a building for environmental gains. The aim has
been to research and analyze the design, production and sustainability features of green roofs, including
their environmental impact, cost effectiveness and need for maintenance. This project on green roofs
has given me a new perspective on sustainable infrastructure, which I've found relevant even in my job
applications to the oil industry. It's made me consider how principles of sustainable design could be
applied to industrial facilities to reduce their environmental impact.
Thoughts and Feelings
I was excited about green roofs and how they might reduce energy consumption and cool the urban
heat island. But with a closer look at the research, now I see the complexity surrounding the process of
designing and constructing sustainable green roofs, I feel a bit bogged down since so many factors come
into consideration at once, including material choice, emissions from transportation, and maintenance
and end-of-life costs.
Evaluation
Doing the job made me get to understand designing for sustainable green roofs are good idea. It is
because it covers all in matters with different sections like the environment, cost, and social. The
material selection, for instance, the use of recycled polymer textile fibers for the waterproofing
membrane, it plays a significant role in minimizing the environmental effects. I also identified factors
such as high transportation emissions and maintenance strategies that would keep the green roof
operational. The sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait highlighted the need for sustainable
practices in all aspects of industrial operations. While green roofs might not be directly applicable in
many oil industry contexts, the principles of sustainable design and lifecycle assessment certainly are.
Analysis
The life cycle assessment case study many intricate relationships between building sustainability and
practicality. I was able to analyze the data that transported materials to make the green roof emitted
about 17,800 grams of CO2. Many environmental impacts were detected during the manufacturing
stage of green layers. The emissions can be decreased by changing materials with lower carbon and by
transportation optimization.
Reframe and conclude
I should have, applied a more systematic and structured approach to the assignment, taking into
consideration all factors possible which affect the sustainability of green roofs, including more
alternative materials and options in design that would have the least effect on the environment.
Practically based and considering the fact, I conclude that design for sustainable green roofs needs a
deep understanding of the connections between environmental, social, and economic factors.
Future ActionIn the future, I will engage in the development and evaluation of sustainable building systems using the
knowledge and skills obtained with the implementation of green roof technologies. I would also build on
research to explore the use of innovative materials and design options that minimize the impact on the
environment to make green roofs more sustainable. I would also consider end-of-life scenarios and
develop strategies for responsible disposal and recycling of green roof materials. As I progress in my
career, whether in the oil industry or elsewhere, I'm committed to advocating for sustainable design
practices. This project has reinforced my belief that small changes in infrastructure can lead to
significant environmental benefits.Title
Reflection on Renewable Energy: Policy, Politics and Ethics Report
Context
This consists of a reflection on the Renewable Energy: Policy, Politics and Ethics report
submitted for the course MSc Sustainable Chemical Engineering, Newcastle University.the
report has given me a broader understanding of the energy landscape and the complex factors
influencing the transition to more sustainable practices.
Thought and feelings
I felt that it was my responsibility to know and analyze renewable energy policy, politics, and
ethics of the various countries. Actually, I was amazed at how renewable energy sources have a
power to help in the reduction of carbon emissions and facilitate sustainable development.
Actually, that was really frustrating to me, as some of the challenges, barriers that exist in some
of the locations in the world that hinder spreading renewable energy.
Evaluation
I am content with my report, but I can realize that a bit of gaps for improving. Particularly, I
should have explained better the political and ethical considerations that one was supposed to
consider while designing or implementing renewable energy policies. Still, I should have offered
more background information about the nations I was researching, including social, economic
and environmental impact. in my role as a ceremonies organizer, I've found myself considering
the ethical implications of our energy choices for events. This has led me to explore more
sustainable options and consider the broader impact of our decisions.
Analysis
I understand that by now, I must further my knowledge as to how policies, politics, and ethics on
renewable energy relate to the enhancement in the analysis and evaluation with respect to
political and ethical considerations affecting renewable energy policies.
I understand that by this time, I already ought to further my understanding of how renewable
energy policies, politics, and ethics operate in relation to the improvement in the analysis and
evaluation with respect to political and ethical considerations that impact
The sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait took on new meaning in light of this
coursework. I was able to engage in more informed discussions about the industry's role in the
global energy transition and the political and ethical considerations at play.
Reframe and conclude
Further development will focus on gaining a deeper understanding of mechanisms for renewable
energy policy, politics, and ethics analysis and access in order to develop the skills applicable to
the political and ethical considerations in place that affect the renewable energy policies.
Future Actionwhile undertaking other assignment and project work in the future, the knowledge and skills
acquired in writing the report will be used, especially in analyzing the policies, politics, and
ethics related to renewable energy. I also hold that this project should sharpen my researching
and communication skills in order to proceed to do high-quality work.
As I continue my job search and prepare for a potential career in the oil industry, I feel better equipped
to navigate the complex landscape of energy policy and ethics. I'm committed to contributing to positive
change, even within traditionally fossil fuel-focused industries.Title
Sustainable Industry - Report Reflection on SusOp Framework
Context
This reflection is based on my report on Sustainable Industry submitted on the SusOp
Framework as part of my MSc Sustainable Chemical Engineering at Newcastle University.
Thoughts and Feelings
I had a sense of responsibility while writing the report to apply and get an understanding of the
principles of sustainability in construction projects, which I was studying. I have used the SusOp
framework to put together principles in sustainable development with those of plant design,
which chaired me on in trying to apply the framework to the reviewed projects. I also felt good
upon the point whereby I could identify the main negative and positive impact from the reviewed
projects and suggested ways of improving their sustainability. The SusOp Framework has proven
to be a valuable tool as I've been applying for jobs in the oil industry. It's given me a structured
approach to analyzing sustainability in industrial operations, which I've been able to discuss in
interviews.
Evaluation
On the whole, I am happy with my report, though I do realize that in places it could be enhanced.
For example, I would have given a little more description about the risks and opportunities found
in each of the projects and also a little more of a prescriptive mitigation plan. My experience as a
ceremonies organizer has also benefited from this framework. I've started to apply its principles
to event planning, considering how we can make our operations more sustainable from social,
economic, and environmental perspectives.
Analysis
I realize on reflection that my understanding of the mechanisms of sustainability—that is, the
social, economic, and environmental factors that influence it—needs improvement. But most of
all, I need to work on the ability to take concepts developed in a theoretical domain into real-life
scenarios, such as sustainable construction projects. During the sessions I attended on the oil
industry in Kuwait, I found myself mentally applying the SusOp Framework to the operations
discussed. It provided a useful lens through which to view the industry's challenges and potential
solutions.
Reframe and Conclude:
I will allocate enough time for research into other topics and practically analyze and critically
consider such sources and papers. I should also focus on enhancing my basic knowledge
concerning the mechanisms which underlie sustainable development and how I can apply
theoretical information within the context of real cases.
Future ActionThis data would be helpful in my future work and projects in which I can use the knowledge and
skills gained in the preparation of the sustainability appraisal of construction under the SusOp
framework. As I move forward in my career, in the oil industry, I'm excited to apply and further
develop my understanding of the SusOp Framework. I believe it will be a valuable tool in
driving sustainable practices in whatever role I take on.TITLE
Reflection on My Air Pollution Reports
Context
This reflection is on my two reports on Air Pollution, which I submitted as part of my MSc Sustainable
Chemical Engineering course at Newcastle University.
Thoughts and Feelings:
Looking at the two reports, the sense of discomfort about the damage that is being incurred by air
pollution for our health and the planet strikes my mind. It really captured my attention when I reviewed
how much CO2 is emitted in the process of power generation in Cote d'Ivoire and across the world.
Moreover, the effects of SO2 emissions on health are quite alarming. But once again, I was very much
encouraged by the potential in the renewable energy sources of wind and solar power in mitigating
climate change. Additionally, I related this to my part-time job as a ceremonies organizer, where I've had
to consider the environmental impact of events, further emphasizing the relevance of air pollution control
in all sectors.
Evaluation:
On the overall, I am quite content with how my reports have turned out, even if they could have been
better. Now, with hindsight, I could have explained a lot more of the working behind the per capita
calculations of the emissions from power generation in my first report. In my second report, I could have
gone further in additional ways to make possible 100% renewable electricity generation in Cote d'Ivoire
by 2050. I now realize that I could have connected the reports to my personal experiences and career
goals, emphasizing how understanding air pollution is vital for my future in industries shifting towards
sustainability.
Analysis:
This has further made me aware of the fact that I should also look over and revisit the basic underlying
mechanisms of air pollution; how the combustion of fossil fuels leads to emission of CO2 and what the
health impacts of SO2 emissions are. I further need to work more on concepts that help in applying most
of these theoretical concepts to the real world, like the design of renewable energy systems. I should also
consider the broader context, such as how my understanding of air pollution can influence my decisions
and initiatives in my future workplace, promoting a sustainable culture.
Reframe and Conclude:
I will increase research time and also critically consider my sources, especially the peer-reviewed articles
and industry reports. I also plan to continue studying air pollution and further developing the application
of theoretical knowledge in a practical situation. I will strive to integrate my personal experiences and
career goals into my academic work, making it more relevant and applicable to my future in the industry.
Future Action:
I will get to build on the information acquired from these reports while I do my future assignments and
projects, including techniques for harnessing renewable energy as a remedy to climate change. I will also
strive to further improve my investigation skills, hence developing top-notch work. I will also explorehow different industries, including those I've worked in and those I aim to work in, can adopt practices to
reduce air pollution, further enhancing my professional development.Title
Reflection on Energy Management Module: A Journey of Discovery and Sustainability
Context
For the Energy Management module, I have undertaken an analysis of the energy consumed and carbon
footprint attributable to a company. The project entailed business involvement in the area of energy
management by considering and analyzing different sources of energy: fossil fuels, renewable energy,
energy efficiency measures, and so forth. This module has been particularly relevant to my future
career plans, as understanding energy management is crucial for industries shifting towards sustainable
business practices.
Thoughts and Feelings
The first time I read it, it looked like the mission would be too hard. I would not know how to process
so much data, let alone comprehend all the technical data. Really, I became very interested in the
complicated relationships among levels of energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the environment
as I delved deep into the assignment. The first I found to be totally alarming: If we consider the global
carbon emissions, it shows that it has surpassed 33 billion metric tons per year at present, according to
the IPCC (2020). This created a responsibility as a global citizen to contribute to the sustainable use of
resources. My part-time work as a ceremonies organizer has also taken on new meaning in light of this
coursework. I've started to consider ways to make events more energy-efficient and reduce their carbon
footprint, applying the principles I've learned about energy intensity and management.
Evaluation
I realize that I should have included just a small amount of scientific data and done a bit more research
for my writing. While I was able to come up with the calculations with precision, I should have done
the analysis on the number of energy consumption by the company and their carbon footprints. In any
case, I am proud of the effort I put into the assignment and the knowledge I gained. I should have
related the assignment to my personal development and career goals, emphasizing how understanding
energy management can benefit my future in the industry. The knowledge gained from this module
proved invaluable during the sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait. I was able to engage in
meaningful discussions about energy management strategies and potential improvements in the sector.
Analysis
One of the fundamental aspects that impacted the success related to my understanding of the most
important concept: energy intensity. Essentially, this term describes the attribute capacity of the
necessity for some given quantity of energy in the essence of producing a unit of GDP. I have learned
that reducing energy intensity is one of the vital aspects of mitigating climate change. Companies can
do this by adopting energy-efficient technologies and practices. A factor also affected my performance
was my ability to think systemically, while considering the connections between energy consumption,
carbon emissions, and the environment. I should also consider the broader context, such as how energy
management can influence my decisions and initiatives in my future workplace, promoting a
sustainable culture.
Reframe and Conclude
I would bring out more scientific data in my analysis and elaborate on the company's energy
consumption patterns in more detail regarding their carbon footprint. I would also tend to feature moreinnovations in curbing energy consumption through carbon emissions that tend to control the emission
of carbon through renewable sources, energy storage, carbon capture, and other technologies. I will
strive to integrate my personal experiences and career goals into my academic work, making it more
relevant and applicable to my future in the industry.
Future Action
I intend to apply the knowledge and skills gained from this assignment to my future career. I would
further emphasize ways to reduce energy consumption, save on carbon emissions, and grasp
opportunities to work with an organizations that places a premium on sustainability and environmental
responsibility. I will try to be among the leaders of this change in energy management and sound
practices for sustainability. As I continue my job search and prepare for potential roles in the oil
industry, I feel better equipped to contribute to sustainability initiatives. This module has reinforced my
commitment to finding ways to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, even within
traditionally high-emission industries.Title
Reflect on the Impact Assessment (EIA) of Teesside Offshore Wind Farm on Ornitholog
Context
I have reviewed the EIA of Teesside Offshore Wind Farm on ornithology as a requirement of my course,
MSc Sustainable Chemical Engineering. The EIA was performed by EDF Energy in 2004 in evaluating
the potential impacts of the wind farm on bird populations in the locality. This task has been particularly
relevant to my future career plans, as understanding the environmental impact of renewable energy
projects is crucial for industries shifting towards sustainable business practices.
Thoughts and Feelings
The first instance though was that The EIA, is very detailed as far as narrating on bird ecology and
potential impacts from the wind farm. But upon more in-depth reading, this EIA appears dated and most
probably doesn't use the best practices adopted and not follow the current set of rules and regulations
I was apprehensive about whether the potential cumulative impacts of this wind farm on bird populations
were adequately assessed in the EIA. I was fascinating to know the various techniques that can be
accomplished while observing and monitoring the bird population—techniques from thermal infrared
imaging to radiotelemetry. I related this to my experience in applying for jobs in the oil industry, where
understanding environmental impact assessments is vital for sustainable practices.
Evaluation
The EIA was seemingly sufficient in the identification of the various impacts of the wind farm to the
populations of birds, which include collision risk together with displacement.
The potential cumulative impact of the whole wind farm on the bird populations was not fully put into
account,
The EIA advised the mitigation deeds that include avoiding construction when there is plenty of sea bird
activity
While EIA believed that the wind farm would not have substantial effects on bird populations or habitat, i
assume this belief now outdated.
My experience as a ceremonies organizer has made me more attuned to the potential environmental
impacts of human activities, even on a smaller scale. I've started to consider how we might incorporate
environmental impact assessments into event planning to minimize disruption to local ecosystems.
Analysis
EIA was done in the 2004, a year with notable advances in the comprehension of change brought about
by wind farm on bird populations.
The EIA could have failed to identify the potential impacts that a wind farm was introducing to the
existing migratory bird species.
The EIA have based on principally anecdotal evidence that was insufficient to come up with a
comprehensive view of the impacts the wind farm in the area presented on bird populations.
Climate change facts for future bird populations were not found in the EIA.I should also consider the broader context, such as how environmental impact assessments can influence
my decisions and initiatives in my future workplace, promoting a sustainable culture.
Reframe and conclude
if I were to carry out the EIA of some wind farm, the method that I would put into place for surveying and
monitoring the condition of bird populations would be to use greatly sophisticated techniques, including
radar monitoring and recording of acoustics. I would also assess cumulative effects of the wind farm on
bird populations and impacts of climate change.
I would suggest that it is necessary for bird populations to be monitored more frequently and intensively.
I would also rely on more complex models to analyze the data more in-depth and predict potential
impacts.
The sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait highlighted the global nature of environmental
concerns. While the focus there was on a different type of energy production, the principles of
environmental impact assessment remain crucial across all sectors.
Future Action
In the future, this report will be used for carrying out even more detailed, recent EIAs of wind farms and
other renewable energy projects. More advanced methods are being used including the radar monitoring
and acoustic recording will use to survey and monitor bird populations. As I progress in my career,
whether in the oil industry or elsewhere, I'll carry this understanding of the importance of thorough
environmental impact assessments. I'm committed to advocating for comprehensive evaluations and
mitigation strategies in any projects I'm involved with.Title:
Reflection on the Importance of Stakeholder Engagement in Environmental Management
Context
Conducting environment review in the course of this module that related to the sector of bookstores in the
UK and India. The more I work on the project, the more I realize the importance of stakeholder
engagement in environmental management. This project on stakeholder engagement in environmental
management has been particularly enlightening in the context of my job applications in the oil industry.
I've come to realize that effective stakeholder engagement is crucial in an industry that often faces
environmental scrutiny.
Thoughts and Feelings
I had thought that environmental management was entirely an organizational affair; however, from my
research and analysis of the sector, I came to realize the key place stakeholders occupy in advocacy for
sustainability. I felt really excited and motivated at the thought that stakeholder engagement could really
make a difference.
Evaluation
I understand that at the beginning, my concept about environmental management was somewhat too
narrow. I centered my idea only on the responsibilities at the level of organizations, while I did not
consider much the issue of the stakeholder. But after project progression, I started to realize its
importance in involving stakeholders in environmental causes. My work as a ceremonies organizer has
also taken on new dimensions. I now see the importance of engaging with various stakeholders - from
venue owners to local communities - to ensure our events are not only successful but also
environmentally responsible.
Analysis
During my research, I found that stakeholders are large influencers of environmental performance in the
sector. It then came to my realization that stakeholder engagement would establish areas of betterment,
sustainable practices, and a culture of environmental responsibility. Even more so, I understand that one
of the prime reasons for stakeholder engagement is building trust, credibility, and legitimacy in the sector.
During the sessions I attended on the oil industry in Kuwait, the importance of stakeholder engagement
was evident. I observed how companies navigate the complex landscape of environmental regulations,
community expectations, and industry standards.
Reframe and Conclude
Had I been doing this project again, I would engage the stakeholders right at the start. I would conduct
surveys and hold interviews, even focus groups, with the stakeholders in order to be able to learn from
them. Moreover, I would have been willing to explore some innovative ways of reaching out to
stakeholders by using the social media campaigns, community outreach programs, and partnership.
Future Action:
I propose to incorporate stakeholder involvement as part of my operation in environmental management
in the future. This will be possible by involving the stakeholders in decision-making, establishing
collaboration, making more and better information available, and more accessible, which is accounted foraccordingly. In this way, I believe I will have the best chance of contributing significantly to the drive
towards sustainability and lowering the industry's impact on the environment. As I continue my job
search and prepare for a potential career in the oil industry, I feel better equipped to contribute to
stakeholder engagement strategies. I understand now that sustainable practices are not just about technical
solutions, but also about building trust and collaboration with diverse stakeholders.Title
Reflection on Lifetime Prediction and Design for Reliability Reports
Context
I did this reflection based on two reports on Lifetime Prediction and Design for Reliability that I
submitted as part of my MSc Sustainable Chemical Engineering course at Newcastle University.
Understanding the principles of fatigue life and creep deformation is crucial in an industry where
equipment reliability and safety are paramount.
Thoughts and Feelings
By means of the reports, I can avail the application of the theory concepts, like the Sherby-Dorn method
and the temperature and stress effect on a material, in actual situations. I was very proud to have done the
analyses of a complex data and driven important conclusions regarding the fatigue life of structures and
the mechanism of creep deformation. However, at the same time, I felt overwhelmed by the vastness of
information that needed to be processed and the pressure of the tight deadlines.
Evaluation
I am overall very pleased with my reports; however, I do feel that there is room for improvement. Within
the first report, more extensive explanation could be given of the S-N curves along with the effects of the
various factors that influence fatigue life, e.g. surface roughness and corrosion, on fatigue crack growth.
In the second report, I should have elaborated more on how creep resistance might have been improved,
for example, by solid solution strengthening and precipitation hardening. Even in my part-time work as a
ceremonies organizer, I've found myself applying these concepts in unexpected ways. For instance,
considering the durability and reliability of equipment used in event setups has taken on new importance.
Analysis
I realize, that I do need to work on basics by understanding the improved underpinnings of the
mechanisms of fatigue and creep deformation, mainly with respect to dislocation movement and grain
boundary sliding. Equally, I want to increase my skills in applying theoretical results to practical
problems, for example, by designing structures for high-temperature load applications. The sessions I
attended on the oil industry in Kuwait further emphasized the significance of these topics. I saw firsthand
how crucial reliability and lifetime prediction are in maintaining safe and efficient operations in
challenging environments.
Reframe and conclude
In the future, I will be more strict with my research time and critically go through my sources. I will put
more effort into understanding more about fatigue and creep deformation mechanisms, and more practice
in applying general theory to practice.
Future Action
I look forward to further applying fatigue life prediction and creep resistance in solving problems in the
field of sustainable chemical engineering. I will seek opportunities to join more research-oriented work
and collaborate with others who share the same interests in making progress in the understanding of these
complex phenomena. As I progress in my career, whether in the oil industry or another sector, I'mconfident that this understanding of lifetime prediction and design for reliability will be a valuable asset.
It's reinforced my commitment to safety and efficiency in all aspects of engineering and operations.
