Abstract
Almost thirty years away from sustainable development Rio summit, we still need to put a big effort in promoting and implementing industrial sustainable process. Green chemical engineering has been involved in industrial processes and chemical engineers are working to develop solutions for green and economic production of product using clean technologies, solving energy and raw materials shortage, sustainable water supply and wastewater treatment, carbon capture and utilization. This paper aims to highlight developments, challenges and best practices in green chemical engineering for both green product engineering and green process engineering. Incorporating the green engineering concept in the curriculum at university level to create a critical mass of engineers and scientists in green engineering is also included.

This paper aims to highlight developments, challenges and best practices in green chemical engineering for both green product engineering and green process engineering
Green chemical engineering which is a combination between green chemistry and green engineering has been involved in industrial processes to optimize the design of chemical processes and efficient use of materials and catalysts
Summary
One of the Sustainable Development Goals as Indonesia commitment by 2030 is “sustainable consumption and production’. The products have been produced by chemical processes which consume huge amounts of natural resources and generates unwanted by-products. It caused environmental pollution and the issue of climate change has been raised due to the rapid consumption of fossil-based energy. Green product engineering includes the developments and use of new catalysts and renewable resources such as renewable energy and biomass. Green process engineering aims to reduce energy, water consumption and undesired by products during the production process [2] It includes reducing gas, energy or water emissions, improving resource and energy efficiency which involves in both. Green process engineering will lead to sustainability of various competitive advantages and obtain both cost efficiency and profitability [2]
