The document discusses greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation options for the industry sector. It identifies five main categories of options: energy efficiency, emissions efficiency, material efficiency in manufacturing and product design, product-service efficiency, and service demand reduction. Direct emissions from industry are dominated by five main products. Significant mitigation potential exists through cost-effective efficiency measures and innovation. Long-term, emissions efficiency through low-carbon electricity and technologies like carbon capture and storage could significantly reduce industry's absolute GHG emissions. Waste reduction, reuse, recycling and energy recovery also offer mitigation strategies.

A report published by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions in June 2013 which looks at how the use of natural gas can be paired with renewable energy sources in the coming years to further reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions--carbon and methane--which theoretically will help reduce (don't laugh), "climate change." Of course the climate changes all the time, but don't tell the politicians and Mother Earth worshipers that.

Presentation of Report Industrial Value Chain: A Bridge Towards a Carbon Neutral Europe, developed for Europe's Energy Intensive Industries (September 2018)
The Circular Economy - a Powerful Force for Climate MitigationEIT Climate-KIC
Transformative innovation for prosperous and low-carbon industry
This report investigates how a more circular economy can contribute to cutting CO2 emissions. It explores a broad range of opportunities for the four largest materials in terms of emissions (steel, plastics, aluminium, and cement) and two large use segments for these materials (passenger cars and buildings).
The key conclusion is that a more circular economy can make deep cuts to emissions from heavy industry: in an ambitious scenario, as much as 296 million tons CO2 per year in the EU by 2050, out of 530 Mt in total – and some 3.6 billion tonnes per year globally. Making better use of the materials that already exist in the economy thus can take EU industry halfway towards net-zero emissions. Moreover, doing so often is economically attractive. Initiatives for a more circular economy therefore deserve a central place in EU climate and industrial policy.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

10. Working Group III contribution to the
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
Industry (II)
• From a short and mid-term perspective energy efficiency and
behaviour change could significantly contribute to GHG mitigation
– The energy intensity of the industry sector could be directly reduced by up to
approximately 25% compared to the current level through the wide-scale
deployment of best available technologies, upgrading/replacement, particularly in
countries where these are not in practice and in non-energy intensive industries
– Additional energy intensity reductions of up to approximately 20% may potentially
be realized through innovation
• In the long-term a shift to low-carbon electricity, radical product
innovations (e.g. alternatives to cement), or CCS (for mitigating i.a.
process emissions) could contribute to significant (absolute) GHG
emissions reductions
• Systemic approaches and collaborative activities across companies
and sectors and especially SMEs through clusters can reduce energy
and material consumption and thus GHG emissions
• Important options for mitigation in waste management is waste
reduction, followed by re-use, recycling and energy recovery
Figure 10.2 A schematic illustration of industrial activity over the supply chain. Options for climate change mitigation in the industry sector are indicated by the circled numbers: (1) Energy efficiency (e.g., through furnace insulation, process coupling, or increased material recycling); (2) Emissions efficiency (e.g., from switching to non-fossil fuel electricity supply, or applying CCS to cement kilns); (3a) Material efficiency in manufacturing (e.g., through reducing yield losses in blanking and stamping sheet metal or re-using old structural steel without melting); (3b) Material efficiency in product design (e.g., through extended product life, light-weight design, or de-materialization); (4) Product-Service efficiency (e.g., through car sharing, or higher building occupancy); (5) Service demand reduction (e.g., switching from private to public transport).

Global industry and waste/wastewater GHG emissions grew from 10.42 GtCO2eq in 1990 to 12.98 GtCO2eq in 2005 to 15.51 GtCO2eq in 2010. These emissions are larger than the emissions from either the buildings or transport end-use sectors and represent just over 30% of global GHG emissions in 2010 (just over 40% if AFOLU emissions are not included). These total emissions are comprised of:
Direct energy-related CO2 emissions for industry (This also includes CO2 emissions from non-energy uses of fossil fuels)
Indirect CO2 emissions from production of electricity and heat for industry
Process CO2 emissions
Non-CO2 GHG emissions
Direct emissions for waste/wastewater
This is an example from India to illustrate that developing countries are also spending on mitigation

Industry sector scenarios over the 21st century that lead to low (430–530 ppm CO2eq), medium (530–650 ppm CO2eq) and high (>650 ppm CO2eq) atmospheric CO2eq concentrations in 2100 (see Table 6.3 for definitions of categories). All results are indexed relative to 2010 values for each scenario. Panels show: (a) final energy demand; (b) direct plus indirect CO2eq emissions; (c) emission intensity (emissions from (b) divided by energy from (a)). Indirect emissions are emissions from industrial electricity demand.

Clarification: Industry chapter also covers waste industry and its mitigation options within a stand-alone section (Section 10.14)
The most effective option for mitigation in waste management is waste reduction, followed by re-use and recycling and energy recovery
