Original abstract

Nearly 2 years ago, several editors wrote an editorial for this journal (Varbanov et al. 2018), centred around the observation that nearly two-thirds of the energy from primary sources is wasted on its way to the final products and services. That observation is still valid—indicating that the energy structures of the World economies have not evolved substantially towards higher efficiency. Various goods and services can be ordered over the internet from all over the world. In the research aiming to improve the performance of process systems, the structure of energy consumption and emissions of the entire supply chains and the lifecycles of their products should be analysed.
