Abstract
Energy consumption in industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. As industries strive to reduce their carbon footprints and enhance sustainability, chemical engineering approaches play a critical role in optimizing energy use. This article explores various chemical engineering strategies and technologies for improving energy efficiency in industrial processes. Key topics include energy integration, process intensification, heat recovery, and the use of renewable energy sources. The paper also discusses the role of chemical engineers in developing innovative solutions for energy optimization, with a focus on reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.
