Abstract

Global issues namely global warming, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; waste generation and energy security are escalating with the passing time. Manufacturing industry remains to be major contributor to these issues and it is a matter of concern. The manufacturing industry on the contrary plays a significant role in boosting the nation’s economy and global economy at large. These issues can be resolved by taking a paradigm shift and adopting the measures to mitigate these issues. These issues could be mitigated by implementing long term strategies such as adoption of clean energy and energy conservation practices in manufacturing processes. This paper deals with energy conservation measures and adoption of clean energy in manufacturing industry and its associated long term positive impacts on global manufacturing industry at large.

Keywords- clean energy, energy conservation, energy security, global warming, greenhouse gas, global manufacturing, and paradigm shift
