Publisher: Elsevier, 2026

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.

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.

From the Back Cover

Process Systems Engineering (PSE) Tools for Industrial Decarbonization provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in systematic methods for reducing industrial carbon emissions. Covering cutting-edge topics such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), negative emission technologies (NETs), and bioenergy, the book emphasizes decision-making and optimization techniques like process graphs (P-graphs), data envelopment analysis, and pinch analysis. It offers insights into large-scale deployment of low-carbon technologies through case studies and practical applications, making it an essential resource for designing sustainable and climate-friendly industrial processes.

The book guides readers through a review of mathematical tools, optimization of energy systems with NETs, and systematic approaches for decarbonization. It explores the use of P-graph models for CCUS and bioenergy applications, as well as graphical methods such as pinch analysis techniques and Piper diagram for targeted emission reductions. It demonstrates the use of data envelopment analysis for geological reservoir selection. These chapters demonstrate how advanced PSE tools can be applied to real-world decarbonization challenges, supporting the transition to a low-carbon future.

This book is an invaluable resource for practicing engineers, researchers, policymakers, and students involved in process design, energy planning, and environmental management. It provides the latest decision-making frameworks and optimization methods necessary for large-scale deployment of decarbonization technologies. By equipping professionals with these tools, it enables effective strategies for reducing industrial emissions and advancing sustainable development. This book empowers stakeholders across industrial sectors to implement innovative solutions, contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon future for humanity.
