Jin‐Li Hu, Yang Li, J. Chew
Abstract
Industry 5.0 transforms industrial ecosystems via artificial intelligence (AI), human–machine collaboration, and sustainability-focused innovations. This systematic literature review examines Industry 5.0′s role in energy transition through digital transformation, sustainable supply chains, and energy efficiency strategies. Key findings highlight AI-driven smart grids, blockchain-enabled energy transactions, and digital twin simulations as enablers of low-carbon, adaptive industrial operations. This review uniquely integrates technological, managerial, and policy perspectives, providing actionable insights for policymakers and industry leaders. Industry 5.0 enhances innovative energy management, renewable energy integration, and flexible energy distribution, strengthening resilience and sustainability. It fosters environmental responsibility, social impact, and circular economy principles, laying the foundation for a low-carbon economy and accelerating the global energy transition.
