The 7th International Conference on Global Sustainability and Chemical Engineering, held in conjunction with the 1st International Petroleum and Energy Summit, is an international scholarly event organised by the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. The conference is designed to address the evolving roles and responsibilities of chemical, petroleum engineers in advancing sustainable solutions while meeting the growing demands of industry, society, and the global energy system.
This conference serves as an integrated platform that brings together expertise across sustainability, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, and energy systems. It reflects the increasing convergence of these disciplines in responding to global challenges such as energy transition, environmental protection, digital transformation, and regulatory compliance. By convening the International Petroleum and Energy Summit (IPET 2026) alongside ICGSCE, the event strengthens cross disciplinary dialogue between upstream and downstream petroleum sectors, advanced materials development, process engineering innovation, and sustainability driven technologies.
Aligned with the conference tagline Advancing Sustainable Solutions Across Petroleum, Energy, and Chemical Engineering, the programme aims to showcase cutting-edge research, technological advancements, and industrial best practices through keynote lectures, invited talks, oral presentations, poster sessions, and technical discussions. The conference scope encompasses sustainability and energy transition, chemical and process engineering innovation, oil and gas and energy systems, advanced materials and nanotechnology, environmental and green engineering, digitalisation and artificial intelligence in engineering, safety and regulatory frameworks, engineering education, and petroleum engineering and subsurface systems.
Building on the legacy of previous ICGSCE events, this edition provides a comprehensive forum for researchers, academicians, industry practitioners, and policy stakeholders from around the world to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and explore collaborative opportunities. The conference aims to foster impactful research collaborations and knowledge transfer that contribute to resilient, efficient, and sustainable engineering solutions across the petroleum, energy, and chemical engineering domains.
