“…Through decisionmaking, multi-objective optimisation, and numerical methods, an optimal biorefinery was synthesised by considering different feedstock and final products. The concept of decision-making was also incorporated into the work presented by Lai et al [35] to consider the cooperation among the corporate unit, business unit, research and development unit, and production unit in a chemical design and production enterprise. Restrepo-Flórez and Maravelias [36] developed a superstructural framework for the design of biorefineries that utilises ethanol to produce gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel.…”

Over the past decades, awareness of the increase in environmental impact due to industrial development and technological advancement has gradually increased. Green manufacturing is one of the key approaches that begin to address environmental issues. With the current global attention, methodologies to incorporate green manufacturing into the design of green products through the green process route are much needed. However, it is challenging for industries to achieve this, as there is no definite definition of green. This work presents a systematic approach that provides a clear and consistent green manufacturing definition with a measurement method in terms of both product and process. With the consistent green definitions, the developed approach designs a product that satisfies green property and other product performance properties. In addition, the developed approach synthesises the production process that fulfils green manufacturing definitions and financial considerations for the designed product. A case study on the design and production of green biofuel is solved to illustrate the efficacy of the approach. Green product design is obtained by identifying molecular building blocks that fulfil the targeted properties using an inverse molecular design technique. The goal is to design a chemical product that is environmentally friendly while fulfilling customer requirements. Moreover, a superstructural mathematical optimisation approach is used to determine optimal conversion pathways that have minimal environmental impact on the production of the identified green product. The utilisation of multi-objective optimisation allows the design of product and process to strike a good balance between operational and environmental performances.

In this review paper (Leong et al. 2019), the origin development and contribution of lean manufacturing and green manufacturing are first explored. Based on the literature review, there is no proper definition for lean and green. Therefore, Leong et al. (2019) explored the application and impact of lean and green approach in the manufacturing industry to promote sustainable manufacturing. Similarities and benefit of both lean and green approaches are identified and implementation strategies are presented. Papers on Energy IndustryFive papers in the Special Issue cover the developments of advanced energy systems. These include optimization of polygeneration system (Ray and De 2019), critical analysis of biomass tri-generation systems (Andiappan et al. 2019), modeling of solar and biomass hybrid power generation (Suresh et al. 2019), optimization of oxy-combustion, and gasification power plant (Wang et al. 2019) as well as assessment of energy end-use technologies in India's households (Kumar Singh et al. 2019).India is an economic powerhouse in the Asian-Pacific Region with a fast-growing energy demand. The current transition towards sustainable energy offers important opportunities for this region. This Special Issue features three papers on the subject of sustainable energy in India. Ray and De (2019) study the impact of modern energy-efficient technologies in India. Their focus is on the generation of various forms of energy from various inputs. In particular, an optimization method is developed for a polygeneration system that has renewable sources such as solar, biomass, and wind as an input and electricity and chemicals as an output. A case study shows how the method can be used to lower electricity costs for a village located in India. Kumar Singh et al. (2019) presents a comprehensive framework for an economic inputoutput model including lifecycle assessment. A data-driven analysis shows how such a multi-perspective approach can predict the impact of investments in various energy-efficient appliances in India's residential sector. Intermittence of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind is often a challenge. Suresh et al. (2019) recognizes the importance of solar power plants for India, which urges new approaches to solve the intermittence problem. They present a case study of a solar power plant that is combined with biofuels to achieve a stable power generation from renewable energy sources. The results demonstrate the viability and stability of such system.Energy systems are getting increasingly more complicated due to tighter integration of various components. In order to optimize the energy system as a whole, model reduction methods are often needed. Wang et al. (2019) presents a model reduction method that allows for the simultaneous optimization of an air separation unit and a gas turbine in an integratedgasification-combined-cycle (IGCC) power plant. The

The product design project is a complex problem because objectives and constraints must be considered simultaneously, the sustainability context is highly relevant and specific, decision‐making involves not only customer needs but also of other stakeholders, especially the organization in which the design project takes place. This work presents a systematic literature review of design methodologies for chemical products to identify how that problem has been addressed and which are the future challenges to be met. The review involved the analysis of 262 research papers and 336 patents, classified according to the chemical product type, the design phase studied, and whether they consider association with a business context. The study highlights the need for holistic product design methodologies applicable from the early design stages, covering the assessment of customer needs and the requirements of other stakeholders, as well as the business context where the design process is carried out.
