1 A Perfect Recipe for Sustainable Regional Development Bio-resources, Port Regions, Industrial Symbiosis Murat Mirata 14 March 2016

2 Environmental Sustainability Challenge Source:(FootprintNetwork.org Quantitative and qualitative changes are needed at both sides

3 Why a resource revolution > 4.8 billion Factor 4 Factor 10 Factor 20 Are needed

4 Why a resource revolution Cities: A particularly important economic unit where the challenges are imminent and growing > 4.8 billion Factor 4 Factor 10 Factor 20 Are needed

5 Why a resource revolution > 4.8 billion Factor 4 Factor 10 Factor 20 Are needed Resource efficiency improvement in mature industrial systems < 5% per year

7 Challenge for bio-based economies (relatively) homogenous High value/volume ratio Economic long-distance transport Not in direct competition with food Processing in large-scale, centralised units Low value/volume ratio Highly heterogenous Limited long-distance transport Limited EoS scope High quality fractions competes with food Economies-of-scale Economies-of-scope and economies-of-networking

8 fossil fuelled = 2.5 kg CO2 eq/kg tomato bio-fuelled = kg CO2 eq/kg tomato average = kg CO2 eq/kg tomato Sweden s 2nd largest producer kg CO2 eq/kg tomato x 20 over average x 50 over fossil-based

9 Innovative connections with local actors CO2 Pulp Mill Vodka Production Heat Industrial Symbiosis

10 Industrial symbiosis Collective approach to resource management where diverse local/ regional actors create economic and environmental value by collaborating on: adding value to under-utilised or wasted resources; developing of more efficient, shared utility and service solutions; knowledge exchange and innovation. Resulting in: Business Competitiveness Environmental Performance Regional/global Sustainability

11 Technical enablers of IS Proximity Diversity of activities (sufficiently) large resource flows

12 Ports Have excellent access to hinterland and overseas suppliers/ markets Nodes of substantial resource flows Already have, or can create, tight couplings to urban resource flows High density and diversity of industrial activity Some of which are environmentally or economically not sustainable Are under growing pressure to improve environmental & economic performance

15 Socio-economic gains

16 Typical characteristics Materials Energy Water Products Business to business Wastes Byproducts Conventional production becomes more efficient Limited systemic change

19 Outcomes Reduced input & waste mgt. costs New products & new markets Business competitiveness & growth Improved innovation capabilities Increased reliance on biobased resources Improved resource use efficiency Resources Emissions System level transformations Reduced emissions & waste Safeguarded and/or new employment Wealth creation for a wider group Closer urban-rural-industrial integration

20 Effectively addressing challenges Industry competitiveness Collaborative Innovations Bio-based and circular economies Sustainable city & rural development

21 Scaling up benefits Challenges Informational Motivation & engagement Organizational Opportunity identification Political & institutional Economic Implementation

22 Scaling up benefits Challenges Political & institutional Organizational Motivation & engagement Opportunity identification Informational Economic Implementation Systemic facilitation

25 Systemic facilitation Inform & Engage Identify & analyse

26 Need and capacity identification

27 Identify development opportunities Also taking into consideration new activities

28 Example achievements Bio-energy potentials and integrated development opportunities identified for Mantova

29 Information and analyses tools

30 Systemic facilitation Inform & Engage Identify & assess Formulate & mobilize

31 Business mobilization Scrutinize in detail own needs & haves in relation to the needs and haves of others Identify feasible partnership opportunities Formulate and realize workable business models

32 Food cluster Thermal gasification Phosphorus and/or metal recovery Chemicals Pellets Algae, insect, or mushroom cultivation 28

33 Policy formulation City development Identify and remove barriers Port development Land Use Identify and create incentives Waste management Permitting Energy Business support Identify and create support systems Transport

34 Malmö Malmö Northern Harbor Development committee is interested in exploring integration possibilities among existing and potential new actors as a marketing and development strategy.

35 Systemic facilitation Diffuse to other regions Inform & Engage Identify & assess Assess & refine Formulate & mobilize

36 Looking into future We have developed, tested, and refined effective methods and tools; gained experiences; We would like to use our experiences to assist similar developments in other regions; We also would like to continue working in our own regions with implementation challenges.
