Abstract
The chapter presents the results of the research related to the applicability of software technologies for simulation in green production and logistics. Green requirements for these technologies are defined. In the first phase, simulation techniques like spreadsheets, programming languages, programming libraries, specialist simulation software and agent technologies are evaluated and compared. In the second phase, five specialist simulation packages were chosen and evaluated in detail. From this list, one package was selected with built-in “green” functions. Finally, an example of using the selected software package to investigate carbon dioxide emissions in factory which produce bottled milk and cheese was described.
