Carbon-spewing factories that fuel global warming could become a thing of the past if manufacturers use the latest digital technology to slash carbon emissions and boost energy efficiency.
The manufacturing industry accounts for almost a quarter of carbon emissions globally and must change its ways or bear responsibility for contributing to catastrophic climate change, according to the latest report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). As the body urges manufacturers to usher in new, sustainable production processes, businesses are turning to advanced digital technology in an attempt to cut carbon emissions.
