Abstract | The 2030 Agenda is a call to global action to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Process intensification, in this context, refers to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of production and service processes, in order to reduce environmental impact and improve people's quality of life. By optimizing and consolidating various steps within a production process, process intensification aims to achieve higher yields, reduced waste, and lower resource consumption. This approach aligns with the sustainability goals set by the United Nations, including: energy efficiency, waste reduction, resource conservation, emission reduction, circular Economy and sustainable development. Process intensification primarily impacts Goals 7, 9, 12, and 13 of the United Nations' 2023 Sustainability Agenda due to its potential to address key aspects related to energy, industry, sustainable consumption and production, and climate action. This review shows how process intensification directly impacts those Goals of the 2023 Sustainability Agenda by promoting affordable and clean energy, fostering innovation in industry, encouraging responsible consumption and production. |
