Approaches towards a sustainable and low carbon emissions production

review

en

The global average temperature is projected to increase to more than 1.5 degree celsius in the mid-century if no interventions are implemented. This can result in severe and irreversible effects due to climate change. The climate target thus requires state-of-the-art research works (i.e., cleaner production tools) that contribute to mitigating carbon emissions both at the local and the national scale. This editorial summarises the compiled articles featured in the special issue, introducing diverse strategies for achieving sustainable and low carbon emissions production. Twenty-three high-quality papers were selected from the 6th Sustainable Process Integration Laboratory Scientific Conference (SPIL'22) and the 8th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia and Beyond (ICLCA, 2022). The Special Issue is divided into (i) systems-based analysis (e.g., industry-or country-wide) and (ii) process-based studies (e.g., focusing on process improvement and product development).
