It will serve as a valuable resource for businesses, engineers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to drive decarbonisation efforts. The book explores engineering innovations that enable carbon reduction across various industries. It discusses analyses of financial and business models that support the transition to a net-zero economy; and examines the role of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and Industry 4.0 in industrial decarbonisation. The book provides practical insights through case studies of successful decarbonisation initiatives and discusses regulatory frameworks and policy incentives that accelerate low-carbon transformation. It will be useful for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRajesh Kumar Prasad is an Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Chanakya University Global Campus Bengaluru, India, where he has been serving since January 2025. Earlier he has served as Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj University Kanpur formally known as Kanpur University from September 2022 to December 2024. In addition, he also served as NAAC Coordinator, Mechanical Engineering Department, and Assistant Dean, Innovation Cell, CSJM University Kanpur  from 1st October 2022 to 23rd December 2024. He has published widely cited articles and book chapters. He has also published several textbooks on Mechanical Engineering Courses as author\/co-author.

He received “Best PhD thesis award 2019” from International Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability (ISEES). He was also awarded several best paper and poster awards at various International Conferences and Workshops. He is a Life Member, International Society of Energy, Environment and Sustainability (ISEES).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShanti Mehra is a PhD scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the Engine Research Lab, IITK, and primarily works in the field of sustainable technology for the automotive sector. She completed her Master’s degree at IIT Kanpur and her Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) at NIT Uttarakhand. She has been awarded the ISEES Best Master's Thesis Award 2023 and the Best Paper Award at the IX SEEC conference held at IIT Mandi. She has published 11 peer-reviewed international journal papers and 2 book chapters with overall 167 citations on Google Scholar. She has also presented her work at the 16th IFToMM World Congress (WC2023) held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2023. Her research area includes Dimethyl Ether (DME) as an alternative fuel for internal combustion (IC) engines. Her work focuses on DME's spray, combustion, performance, and emission characteristics, along with developing fuel injection systems and ECU mapping for optimized engine operation. Through experimental and simulation studies, she aims to explore the potential of DME to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency in IC engines and bridge the gap between academic research and practical application in the automotive and energy sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeepak Kumar Tripathi is an Assistant Professor in the School of Management Science at Chanakya University, Bengaluru.
