Description

Process Systems Engineering Tools for Industrial Decarbonization explores the latest mathematical methods driving large-scale adoption of technologies aimed at reducing carbon emissions in industrial systems. By examining systematic strategies for planning, decision-making, and designing low-carbon industrial processes, the book offers readers—both experts and newcomers—a comprehensive understanding of how recent advances in process engineering can support a sustainable future. Special emphasis is placed on the integration and optimization of cutting-edge technologies such as Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), and other innovative decarbonization solutions as they mature and become viable at scale.

Beyond technical frameworks, the book addresses the urgent need to manage rising atmospheric CO₂ levels, which now average 420 ppm—well above safe thresholds. It highlights the importance of using decision-making tools to efficiently deploy and systematize available technologies, ensuring the industrial sector contributes effectively to climate mitigation.

Key features

  • Presents the most recent developments in process systems engineering of technologies for industrial decarbonization
  • Introduces methods for decision-making involving low- carbon technologies under uncertainty
  • Explores case studies that demonstrate the use of mathematical tools for CCUS systems
  • Provides insights into developing strategies for deploying technologies for industrial decarbonization

Readership

Academe and industry audience; Industry professionals: One of the main targets of industrial decarbonization is the energy sector, which are currently exploring ways to generate low-carbon energy; current, transitioning and incoming energy industry personnel; For the academic sector, the core student audience will be chemical and environmental engineering students (undergraduate students in the final two years or early graduate level students who have developed knowledge about the technology itself and have sufficient mathematical background to understand different systematic decision tools such as mathematical programming, P-graph, and pinch analysis); faculty researchers who intend to start on research related to industrial decarbonization.

John Frederick Tapia

John Frederick D. Tapia is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines. He develops research on optimization tools such as for carbon, capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and oil palm value chain. The team has a combined H-index of 113. It is composed of a junior faculty (Dr. Tapia) whose experience is on the development of mathematical tools for planning and design of industrial systems such as CCUS, and oil palm value chain, and two professors (Prof Tan and Prof Foo) with extensive experience as editors on process integration and optimizations. Their background in industrial decarbonization research (e.g., CCUS, bioenergy, etc.) enables the development of high-quality book chapters that, together create a collection of systematic tools for industrial decarbonization.
