Chemical engineering has great role to play in the years to come. As crude oil is nearing exhaustion coupled with CO2 worries due to burning of fossil fuel, research is going on in full swing around the world to find alternative sources. Solar energy, Hydrogen are two prominent areas. Here chemical engineering professionals have to play big role in making products cheaper and safe. I am sure that this is one branch that is pregnant with immense opportunities. Best wishes to you.
