Industrial Decarbonization: Materials, Methods, and Developments offers a timely and in-depth exploration of the technologies and strategies reshaping high-emission industries in the global push toward carbon neutrality. As sectors such as chemicals, steel, cement, concrete, asphalt, and construction face mounting pressure to reduce their environmental impact, this book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective on the innovations driving industrial transformation.Drawing from cutting-edge research and real-world implementation across academia, national labs, and industry, the book highlights both the challenges and scalable solutions in industrial decarbonization. Key features include:• Innovative Technologies: Investigates emerging thermo-, electro-, and photocatalytic processes, microwave-assisted techniques, and energy-efficient manufacturing systems aimed at reducing industrial emissions.• Analytical Frameworks: Introduces life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) tools to assess the viability and environmental impact of new decarbonization approaches.• Carbon Management: Explores advanced materials and integrated system designs for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), including novel separation and process integration technologies.• Sector-Specific Solutions: Showcases targeted innovations in cement, concrete, steel, and chemical production, alongside cross-cutting strategies such as circular economy models and thermal energy storage.• Digital Tools: Discusses the role of computational modeling and data-driven methods in optimizing decarbonization pathways.With a rich collection of case studies and practical examples, this book is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers working at the intersection of materials science, industrial engineering, and sustainable development.
