In today's rapidly evolving world, industries are increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility. For process industries, which often involve complex capital projects, the integration of eco-friendly practices is paramount. The Green Value Engineering (GVE) methodology is emerging as a powerful project management instrument designed to enhance the eco-friendliness and sustainability of capital projects in the process industry. This article explores the GVE methodology, its principles, and its application in capital projects, shedding light on how it can drive innovation and environmental consciousness in the sector. The process industry, encompassing sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, plays a significant role in global economic growth. However, it is also known for its resource-intensive operations and environmental impact [1,2]. As sustainability concerns grow, there is increasing pressure on process industries to adopt eco-friendly practices, even in their capital projects [3].
Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are imposing stricter environmental regulations, necessitating cleaner and more sustainable industrial practices. Consumer Demand: Consumers are becoming more eco-conscious and are inclined to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. The finite nature of natural resources, coupled with rising demand, has put a premium on resource efficiency and sustainability. Environmental risks, including climate change, are gaining attention, and companies are keen to mitigate these risks in their operations. Eco-friendly practices often result in cost savings and efficiency improvements, making them economically attractive. The Green Value Engineering (GVE) methodology is a systematic and structured approach that combines the principles of value engineering and sustainability to enhance the eco-friendliness of capital projects in the process industry [4]. It is designed to optimize resource utilization, minimize waste, and reduce environmental impact while ensuring the efficient delivery of projects [5,6].
The Green Value Engineering (GVE) methodology presents a powerful and holistic approach to enhancing the eco-friendliness and sustainability of capital projects in the process industry. By combining the principles of value engineering and sustainability, GVE encourages multidisciplinary collaboration, life cycle assessment, and a culture of continuous improvement. The benefits of adopting GVE are evident in the form of sustainability, cost savings, regulatory compliance, enhanced reputation, and long-term viability. As the process industry grapples with the challenges of resource scarcity, environmental regulations, and changing consumer preferences, GVE offers a clear path toward achieving eco-friendly capital projects. It empowers industries to not only meet their production and operational goals but also contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future for all. The adoption of the GVE methodology is a visionary step toward environmental stewardship and the responsible management of finite resources in a rapidly evolving world.
