Jeet Bindra Distinguished Lecture 2024
Talk Title: The Carbon Challenge: Background, Current Status and Evolving Carbon Capture Technologies
Abstract - The explosive increase in fossil fuels use during the last two centuries has resulted in CO₂ accumulation in earth’s atmosphere. This buildup of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, is causing global warming that is playing havoc with climate patterns and threatening human welfare. The Paris accord on climate stipulates that the global temperature increase by the end of 21^st century be limited below 1.5˚ C to prevent a disastrous change in the climate..

Cipher (EXERGY'24)
As the name suggests, it is an Exergy Cipher, you need to encode (google around) the snippets and collect information in this case, find the logic, get to the answer, and submit it.
You will get a lot of questions all at once, most of which will be based on books, movies, and other forms of media (can be a cryptic clue as well) and they point to results which would somehow lead to names of characters, political or non-political personalities, contributors of engineering, recent discoveries, etc.

Optimisation (EXERGY'24)
Optimisation is a competition organized by the Chemineers Society as part of its annual Chemical Engineering Fest EXERGY. It comprises a variety of mathematical and logical optimization tasks pertaining either to the general domain or chemical engineering and allied subjects. It challenges participants to devise novel approaches for optimizing general problems or certain chemical operations.
