“…The combustion of landfill gas will release greenhouse gases and other emissions into the atmosphere. However, the landfill gas is produced from landfill, without centralized collection and pretreatment for the later use, it would be discharged to the environment directly [34]. On the other hand, due to the consumption of landfill gas, the manufacturing plant does not need to purchase more electricity and natural gas, while the consumption of both energy inputs can cause environmental problem.…”

a b s t r a c tIncreasing attention has recently been drawn to energy consumption in manufacturing plants. Facing the challenges from reducing emissions coupled with rising raw material prices and energy costs, manufacturers are trying to balance the energy usage strategy among the total energy consumption, economy, and environment, which can be self-conflicting at times. In this paper, energy systems in manufacturing environments are reviewed, and the current status of onsite energy system and renewable energy usage are discussed. Single objective and multicriteria optimization approaches are effectively formulated for making the best use of energy delivered to the production processes. Energy supply operation suggestions based on the optimization results are obtained. Finally, an example from an automotive assembly manufacturer is described to demonstrate the energy usage in the current manufacturing plants and how the optimization approaches can be applied to satisfy the energy management objectives. According to the optimization results, in an energy oriented operation, it takes 35% more in monetary cost; while in an economy oriented operation, it takes 17% more in megawatt hour energy supply and tends to rely more on the inexpensive renewable energy.
