Manufacturing dictates the efficiencywith which resource inputs are transformed into economically valuableoutputs in the form of products and services. Consequently, it is also responsiblefor the resulting waste and pollution generated from this transformation process.As a matter of fact, about one-third of the global total energy consumption isassociated withmanufacturing activities; thus, achieving higher energy efficiencyin this sector has been the focus of research as well as of policy and industrialprogrammes in recent years. In particular, being able to effectively manageenergy and energy-related activities has proved to be a fundamental capabilityfor companies willing to improve their sustainability, as it constitutes the first,critical step to understanding their processes and to identifying and correctlyevaluating improvement opportunities.This Special Issue focuses on energy management and sustainability of bothmanufacturing processes and systems, including methods, practices, tools, applicationsand experiences. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy management practices 610 $atranslating management ideas 610 $acase study 610 $acopper 610 $acobalt 610 $amining 610 $asustainable energy development 610 $aengineering economics 610 $amulti-national enterprises 610 $acement manufacturing plant 610 $aenergy savings 610 $atechnology solutions 610 $aItalian companies 610 $adescriptive analysis 610 $acogeneration 610 $aceramic industry 610 $aspray dryer 610 $aenergy analysis 610 $aprocess thermal consumption 610 $agas turbine 610 $ainternal combustion engine 610 $awaste heat recovery 610 $alow-temperature waste heat 610 $adatabase development 610 $aindustrial sustainability 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aBenedetti$b Miriam$4edt$01328666 702 $aIntrona$b Vito$4edt 702 $aBenedetti$b Miriam$4oth 702 $aIntrona$b Vito$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557317403321 996 $aIndustrial Energy Management and Sustainability$93038797 997 $aUNINA
