This book provides the latest research on zero carbon industry and its practical implications for eco-innovation and environmental sustainability for businesses in current scenario. In a zero-carbon industry, there would be profound, sometimes disruptive, changes in our economy compared to our current one. As the world approaches zero carbon industry by 2050, economic output will shift progressively (and permanently) toward those goods and services that do not emit greenhouse gases. Changes in these dynamics would ripple along entire value chains, transforming industries. Creating a zero-carbon industry will require fundamental changes in both our economies and societies. Taking eco-innovation and environmental sustainability seriously will be crucial to businesses, and companies are increasingly keen to signal this commitment. This book aims to illustrate a detailed exploration of the complex and interconnected domains of zero carbon industry, eco-innovation, and environmental sustainability. In addition to combining the academic expertise of emerging and established scholars from different academic fields, this book provides an integrated understanding of the topic on zero carbon emissions, eco-innovation, and environmental sustainability from a broader perspective by combining the work of established and emerging scholars. There is a need to fundamentally transform the zero carbon industry, eco-innovation ecosystem in order to achieve sustainability through the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of things, blockchain, and cloud technologies.The book sheds light on various advancements in zero carbon industry, eco-innovation, and emerging technologies for the purpose of sustainability, and it aims to address the urgency of responding to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) as part of the global mandate.

This book provides a timely and insightful exploration of how emerging digital technologies can be leveraged to achieve sustainability and build environmental resilience in the face of escalating global challenges. It offers readers a practical and theoretical foundation for understanding data-driven sustainability, a concept that refers to the integration of advanced data tools—such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain—into environmental planning, policy, and operations. With climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and resource scarcity accelerating at an alarming pace, traditional approaches to sustainability are proving inadequate. The need for real-time data, predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and transparent monitoring has never been more urgent. This book addresses that critical need by illustrating how data-centric technologies can help bridge the gap between sustainability ambitions and tangible action. It explores how big data can transform environmental intelligence, enabling governments, businesses, and communities to track environmental performance in real time, anticipate risks, and intervene proactively. Artificial intelligence is examined as a powerful tool for optimizing resource use, modeling climate scenarios, enabling smart agriculture, and enhancing energy efficiency through learning algorithms and pattern recognition.
