Metadata o publikaci
Industrial symbiosis is a cooperative approach between industries: waste, by-products, surplus in energy or wastewater available in one company is supplied to other companies, often in a geographical proximity, for production. It belongs to the policy on circular economy and has significant potential for decarbonising resource-intensive industries. The expert estimates that a general application of industrial symbiosis based on existing technologies has the potential of reducing CO2 equivalent emissions by 10 %, can save of up to 40 % of fresh water needed by industries and can lead to significant cost savings. The expert recommends the following in his report in particular. - To establish a community of practice offering guidelines for rolling out industrial symbiosis to more regions and more industries in Europe, which are often not aware how to take this forward. - To use the concept of symbiosis readiness level to drive industrial symbiosis to full exploitation. This would focus on steps identifying what is needed in terms of technologies, business models, ecology (sustainability) and management in a company. The potential could be expanded towards industrial-urban symbiosis involving also municipalities and regions interested in cooperating with industries on issues like waste, energy and water (in order to keep such industries in these regions). This could be the foundation for the hubs for circularity, an approach put forward under the Green Deal by DG Research and Innovation and relevant for Horizon Europe.
