Simulation of Green Supply Chain Design With Renewable Energy and Green Technology for Intensifying Sustainability After COVID-19

Abstract

Renewable energy and green technologies can enhance global sustainability by improving green business practices, fostering economic growth, and ensuring ecological safety. This chapter introduces cost-effective and eco-friendly simulation techniques for green supply chain design to enhance long-term sustainability in the post-COVID-19 era. The proposed green supply chain simulation could effectively revitalize low-carbon economic growth in Mexico, Europe, and other continents, while significantly reducing supply chain costs, carbon intensity, and firms' dependency on coal or nuclear-sourced electricity. Considering future global demands for energy and hi-tech applications, the authors propose green simulation techniques and strategies to magnify competitive advantages through the integration of clean energy and green technologies into supply chains. Thus, this chapter contributes to the successful implementation of global zero-emission policies, sustainable development, and encourages firms to transition into low-carbon supply chains with higher profitability.
