FURGY CLEAN Innovation Die platform für grenzüberschreitende innovation

Platform for grænseoverskridende innovation

• Accelerate collaboration and innovation within

clean energy

• Support Danish and German companies in

opportunities and challenges of tomorrow

• Establish sustainable cross-border clean energy

cluster structures

Aim

THE REGION

• Reduced costs for

purchase, maintenance

etc.

• New revenue stream

from sale of waste

products

• Diversification of supply

chain

• Strategic partnership

• Energy – and resource

efficiency

Why symbioses?

Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimates

that EU alone can benefit from between

340 and 630 billion $ by closing resource loops in a more circular economy

THE CASE OF NYBORG

- PROCESS AND EARLY PHASE

EXPLORATIONS

The FURGY CLEAN Innovation symbiosis activity provides the

necessary basis for decisions on potential symbiosis cases

1. Identify new geographical areas with symbiosis potential,

2. Uncover the potential input/output companies,

3. Develop technical analyzes and business cases

4. Facilitating dialogue between stakeholders

5. Support companies in the implementation of industrial symbiosis.

Aim

Three dimensions

Physical

• Local plans

• Resource scarcity

• Regulation

• Proximity

• Complementary resource flow

• Existing infrastructure

Economical • Business case

• Effect on the regional societal economy

Social • Social relations

• Trust and openness

Delimitation

Input Output Output/Input

Internal utilization of resources is out of scope. Yet still, easier to handle internally due tariffs/taxes, dependencies of others and trust.

• Industry-heavy (in a Danish context)

• Energy-intensive production facilities (food, plastic,

treatment of hazardous waste products etc.)

• A lot of organic waste products from food industries

• High utilization of industrial excess heat into district

heating system (driver/barrier)

• …and potentials of integrating even more

• Political will

Transportation

Supply security

• Energy symbioses

– Establishment of biogas plant fueled by organic waste from local

food industries

– Expansion of district heating system

– Utilizing more industrial excess heat to heat-up a dock for

outdoor swimming

– Attracting heat-intensive companies, e.g. greenhouses and fish

farming

• Resource symbioses

– Awaiting intervention and data from companies

Interesting cases appear…

• What is needed to speed-up symbioses?

• What resources are the low-hanging fruits to exchange

in symbioses?

• Are we fully aware of both drivers and barriers to

symbioses?

• What can be learned from the Kalundborg case?
