Description:	One of the greatest challenges facing humankind is the increasingly rapid depletion of natural resources. Whether it is oil from the sea or the land, or minerals from the ground, our insatiable appetite for consumption of re- sources and the inexorable growth in the world population puts us on a road to disaster – unless we adopt a more sustainable approach to resource con- sumption. Chemistry – which dictates the ways we can make all the articles we want in modern society, starting from petroleum and crude minerals as feedstocks, is at the heart of the modern industrial society and must be at the heart of the technological revolution we surely need. Critical to this revo- lution will be changes to the ways we do chemical processes. We need to carry out our chemistry with a more efficient use of resources and a reduction in the amount of waste. One vastly important step change will be the intro- duction of low energy technologies. We continue to use conventional heating techniques in chemistry but the chemical industry is a very large consumer of energy and must follow the trends in other sectors and seek to employ more efficient and low-carbon heating techniques. Alternative techniques can also help us to make chemical processes more efficient and generate fewer by- products, for example, by avoiding uneven heating that can cause hot spots and hence partial decompositions or side-reactions.
