Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Low-Energy Technologies are fundamentally transforming the industries heavily reliant on energy for their manufacturing processes. Advanced technologies are increasingly penetrating the renewable energy sector and energy-intensive industries like cement, steel, and chemicals. Low-energy technologies enhance energy efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs in these sectors.
The implementation of low-energy technologies in energy-intensive industries aligns with the targets of global climate policy. Energy-intensive industries emphasize sustainable manufacturing through innovative technologies to increase energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption, including the development of information systems for supervising energy consumption, production, and storage with management optimization functions, including technologies for process heat recovery and its subsequent use. The import solutions are technologies based on renewable energy sources (RES).
The focus of this special issue is energy efficiency in heavy industries. Authors can present various low-energy technologies, including energy management systems, operational optimization, modeling of energy intensity and prediction, renewable energy solutions, energy storage, autonomous computer energy systems, and other energy projects.
This special issue aims to provide a valuable solutions for understanding the energy saving in the heavy industries, including:
- low-energy technologies and computer applications for energy management in heavy industries,
- challenges and barriers for energy-intensive industries in green transformation,
- innovations in industrial process technologies,
- projects of energy efficiency in industrial process technologies,
- benefits of green transformation in heavy industries,
- future technologies for energy efficient manufacturing.
