Industrial Symbiosis
Industrial Symbiosis (IS) can be defined as :
An innovative approach which brings together
companies from all business sectors
aiming at
improving cross industry resource efficiency
through the commercial trading of
materials, energy and water
and the sharing of
assets, logistics and expertise
5
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
Produce a Web Based PLATFORM
for Industrial Symbiosis Communities,
Offering Automation Supporting the SMEs,
Considering Regional Priorities and
Enabling public administrators
(municipalities, regional offices)
to implement their environmental policy and
to monitor environmental and
economic consequences
Main Objective
6
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
Project Objectives
Consolidate practices and valuable knowledge
base (UK experience) in a form (service)
running on an autonomous basis
Build features to support innovative policy
approaches, facilitating the IS
implementation as an environmental policy at
a local-regional-national level
Formulate a knowledge-based approach with a
potential to report measurable social,
environmental and economic benefits
7
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
Further Project Objectives
Prepare and train industries to embark on IS and utilize the
service
Deploy the widest possible application of scientifically
verified technologies for IS upgrade
Provide means to disseminate IS in the region of Viotia, but
also in other regions in Greece and Europe
Improve and increase the participation of Small and
Medium business enterprises (SMEs) into IS market–
oriented activities
Reduce the natural resources consumption (raw material,
energy, utilities)
Establish Industrial Symbiosis networks, recruit champions
to disseminate IS in Greece, Balkans and all regions
deprived of government support for IS

Benefits & Results
The project work focused to :
Generate the interest for the new paradigm with the
introduction of advanced technologies and promote its use.
The delivery of an Industrial Symbiosis platform with
innovative features.
Produce an automated web facility to enable effective
matching for industry in Industrial Symbiotic actions.
Create new champions Industrial Symbiosis and advance it
using media, social media practices, creation of forums,
conferences and focused Industrial and technology
dissemination actions.
Produce a solution based on the industry characteristics of
Viotia to reduce the consumption of natural resources.
reduce volume of waste streams disposed to landfill.

LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
The eSymbiosis innovative environmental practice will contribute
to:
Trade waste as feedstock among companies, build
environmentally integrated and efficient communities
Cost savings in raw materials and discharge fees
Waste reduction across a wide range of industrial activities
The development and assessment of environmental policies at
local and regional level.

Implementing the e-Symbiosis
Technology Advantage eSymbiosis employs Artificial
Intelligence Knowledge modelling to support the synapsis of Successful Industrial Partnerships
Ontologies classify all relevant information to Industrial Symbiosis, eg. Materials, Technologies, Production Workflows, Geographical Information.
Registration and Matching are supported by sophisticated algorithms.
14

IS Portal
Technology Advantage
eSymbiosis supports partnerships, producing suggestions for matching, exploiting ‘technology knowledge’ and Best Practices for Industrial Symbiosis from global experience.
Industrial Symbiosis experts are actively participating and supporting portal members engaging in IS Business Transactions.
Partnership Results and Success Stories are integrated in the eSymbiosis Knowledge Base.

The Industrial Symbiosis (IS) Portal
With functions such as member communications, presence, information, forums, and expert blogs for consulting members and visitors on Industrial Symbiosis.
The IS Portal is live.

Gathering Background Information and Data
Collection priorities
First Focus on:
Material flows
Waste stream specs
Locations
Extending knowledge with:
Context description
Inspection audits
Commercial profile
19
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
The knowledge models are enriched with: Toxic waste Environmental records IPPC Techniques Liquid disposal Production stages

published and free accessible data, regional information for Viotia Approach:
Build components compatible with reference data
Produce links with ontologies
Used publicly available descriptions of best practices in UK Approach:
Selection of best practice cases
Transformed information in appropriate form to integrate with ontologies
22
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300

Applications of Knowledge Models
Scenario of Potential use of Pyrolysis Question in Hand:
What is the potential to set up a Pyrolysis Unit in Viotia?
Process Inputs: plastics, biomass, MSW, etc. Process Outputs: oil, biogas, biochar/coal What is the local market for:
Coal? Gas? Fuel oil?
28
LIFE+ Environmental Policy & Governance project: LIFE09 ENV/GR/000300
Use of technology units Search indicates
206 types of industries that use coal and could possibly replace it with charcoal
196 processes that use natural gas, biogas or LPG and could possibly replace it with pyrolysis gas
45 processes that use fuel oil and could possibly replace it with bio-oil
51 processes that use heavy oil, petrol or gasoline and could possibly replace it with bio-oil
Input/output models provide indicative flows, however, opportunities depend on specific capacities, locations and specific demands!
