Abstract: Process optimization is of utmost importance for a correct management within any industrial field and especially within the energy and carbon intensive ones. Increasingly stringent regulations aiming at reducing the environmental impact force the companies to lower their CO2 emissions while preserving the economical sustainability of their production processes. Therefore the need arises to face these challenges by formulating optimization problems involving multiple objectives, which correspond to different and often conflicting requirements.
