Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As industries have to ensure their long-term sustainability and competitiveness in line with major global climate commitments for reaching climate neutrality, cutting-edge advancements in decarbonisation technologies need to be adapted. Fully decarbonizing such complicated and integrated industrial environments requires a multidimensional approach. This Special Issue will explore emerging technologies for reducing carbon emissions across industrial processes, highlighting innovative solutions such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), hydrogen-based fuel switching, the electrification of heat processes, and the integration of renewable energy sources. The thematic areas also covered include the following: the role of digitalization, including AI and IoT, in optimizing energy use and enabling the real-time monitoring of emissions; waste to energy; waste stream recycling; life cycle assessment of environmental costs and social impacts; safe and sustainable design methodologies; and research, demonstration activities, and others. By presenting a comprehensive overview of technological innovations, policy insights, and practical applications, this Special Issue serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders committed to driving the industrial sector toward a sustainable net-zero future.
