Greentelligence:Smart Manufacturing for a Greener Future

1 Introduction Global climate change has grown into one of the major concerns in global industrialization and economic development.Carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),one of the six Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases(GHGs),is the most difficult to contain due to its closeness with energy generation and consumption^([1]).With an earlier awareness of climate change,developed countries tended to displace the resource-and energy-intensive industries to other countries,thus emissions have not been reduced but relocated^([2]),which can be further magnified if production shifts to countries using carbon-intensive energy or low-energyefficient technologies.Developing countries are responsible for 63%of GHGs emissions and get hit the hardest,i.e.,78%of the cost of climate change,and predicted to rise to 87%by 2035^([3]).
