As a major energy consumer, China faces significant challenges from environmental pollution and resource scarcity, which critically impact sustainable social development. With the national "dual carbon" goals established, the manufacturing sector must integrate green transformation principles into corporate development. Currently, under the framework of green manufacturing, workshop green scheduling has emerged as a prominent research focus in this field. Therefore, this paper integrates recent cutting-edge research and future prospects in this field. It addresses green scheduling in assembly lines, flexible manufacturing workshops, and distributed scheduling systems. The discussion primarily focuses on green workshop scheduling within algorithmic frameworks, thoroughly examining the strengths and weaknesses of different algorithms. It highlights innovative developments such as novel algorithms and hybrid approaches tailored to solve specific problems. The aim is to tackle challenges in green workshop scheduling, including energy conservation and emission reduction, efficient resource utilization, and effective coordination among complex workshops. This paper provides a systematic review of past research achievements and summarizes current mainstream algorithms. It identifies shortcomings in existing studies and points toward future research directions.
