About this Research Topic
In the face of global climate change, environmental degradation, and increasing resource constraints, the industrial sector stands at a pivotal juncture, where forging strategic nexuses and enhancing system resilience become paramount for sustainable development. This Research Topic focuses on the development and application of innovative technologies, policies, and practices that can simultaneously enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, manage water resources, and control air pollution in industrial processes. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these elements interact and how they can be integrated to achieve sustainable industrial development. We cordially invite submissions that dissect the complex challenges of sustainable industrial progress, offering solutions that not only demonstrate technological feasibility but also ensure economic viability, thereby strengthening the strategic nexus and bolstering system resilience across these vital domains.
This Research Topic centers on the strategic nexus and system resilience required for advancing innovative technologies, policies, and practices that concurrently bolster energy efficiency, curtail carbon emissions, optimize water resource management, and mitigate air pollution in the industrial sector. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these elements interact and how they can be integrated to achieve sustainable industrial development.
We encourage submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Advanced materials and technologies for energy conservation in industry.
• Innovations in carbon footprint reduction across industrial activities.
• Circular economy approaches to water use in the industrial sector.
• State-of-the-art air pollution control technologies and systems.
• Innovative technologies for energy efficiency in industrial processes.
• Strategies for reducing carbon emissions in the industrial sector.
• Integrated approaches to water resource management and conservation.
• Air pollution control technologies and their implementation in industry.
• The role of policy and regulation in promoting sustainable industrial practices.
• Case studies on successful integration of energy, water, carbon, and air pollution strategies.
• Economic and environmental benefits of integrating these strategies.
• Challenges and opportunities in implementing sustainable practices in the industrial sector.
• Interdependencies and synergies between energy efficiency, carbon reduction, water management, and air pollution control.
• Policy frameworks and regulatory mechanisms for system resilience
