Overview

Systematic review demonstrates that combining digital tools with structural decarbonization accelerates industrial net-zero transitions, highlighting the necessity of an integrated operational model.

Key Points

To critically assess current green manufacturing approaches and propose an integrated operational framework connecting digital tools, circular loops, and deep chemical decarbonization.
Conducted a systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines to evaluate high-impact literature across green manufacturing pathways.
Analyzed the integration of the 10R circular framework, Industry 5.0 cyber-physical systems, ESG mandates, and Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas accounting.
Identified that digital twins and artificial intelligence successfully optimize short-term operational energy efficiency but cannot achieve net-zero independently.
Determined that meeting long-term climate targets necessitates major capital pivots toward deep decarbonization technologies, specifically hydrogen-based direct reduced iron and carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
Established an integrated manufacturing model that bridges digital efficiency tools with chemical decarbonization and circular supply networks to resolve structural operational silos.
