Representing 30% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the industrial sector is critical to achieving the nation’s climate goals. Digital technologies enable us to reimagine manufacturing processes and products to reduce energy use, decrease emissions, and eliminate waste: creating “circular economy” product flows; increasing energy efficiency through smart manufacturing; and employing digital capabilities in new ways to enhance sustainability. See how companies, government, and researchers collaborate to develop and deploy these technologies through the Manufacturing USA national initiative.
Productivity has plummeted at industrial organizations over the past 10 years. At the same time, technology has enabled manufacturers more than ever as they pursue significant Operation 2030 goals.
