The programme will see a focus on building capabilities in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), a method of mitigating the environmental impact of chemical industrial process emissions and fossil fuel combustion.

The fields of energy, environment and manufacturing that require expertise in chemical engineering-related fields are also important in the programme.

Dr. Marwan Khraisheh, Dean of Engineering at Masdar Institute, said: “The launch of a new Master’s program demonstrates the ambition and continued growth of Masdar Institute."

"Chemical engineering has an important place in the development of clean technology solutions, and Masdar Institute hopes to supply local, regional and international businesses with a talented pool of chemical engineers that will help them become more efficient and deploy sustainable technologies and practices.”
