1 INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO SUPPORT REGIONAL GROWTH AND RESILIENCE Per Møller Head of Symbiosis Center Denmark VATTENDAGEN APRIL

2 A brief presentation Symbiosis Center Denmark is a national knowledge center working to identify and facilitate industrial symbiosis projects between industrial partners.

3 FROM LINEAR TO CIRCULAR ECONOMY

4 CIRCULAR ECONOMY TRANSITION IN DENMARK BY 2035 COULD LEAD TO... GDP An increase in GDP by % FTEs 7,000 13,000 additional job equivalents EXPORT Increase in net exports by 3-6% RESOURCE Reduction of consumption of selected resources by 5-50% CO 2 Reduction of the country s carbon footprint by 3-7%

5 NORDIC IS-NETWORK Current gepgraphy Current members: Linköping University, Academia (SE) Digipolis, Industry Cluster (FI) Kalundborg Symbiosis, Industrial Cluster & Symbiosis Center Denmark, Knowledge Center (DK) Eyde Cluster, Industry Cluster (NO) Alklasinn, Industry Cluster (IS) Nordregio, Societal research (Pan- Nordic)

6 INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT RESIDUAL RESOURCE RESOURCE RESIDUAL Redefining waste as a secondary resource!

7 BAY OF PARTNERSHIP

8 STREAMS OF AGREEMENTS

9 PROJECTS ORGANIZATION Surface water MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF COOPERATION Surplus gas (First symbiosis project) Steam supply Naming the system: Industrial Symbiosis Using residual stream Partners forming the Symbiosis Center Algae plant Green Energy 2012 Kalundborg Symbiosis formed as an association 2017 Symbiosis Center Denmark

10 WORKING TOGETHER: SURFACE WATER SPRINGS IN 1961 Surface water

11 ADAPTABLE: NEW BUSINESS MODEL GAINING STEAM FROM 1982 Steam supply

12 TEST & DEMONSTRATION: ALGAE PLANT 2012 Algae plant

13 GREEN ENERGY FROM 2017 Green Energy

14 BIOMASS BASED POWERPLANT (2019) Wood chips replacing coal Yearly saving: ton CO 2 ( cars) Green steam, electricity and heat

15 FROM BIOMASS TO NATURAL GAS (2018) Biogas plant (Kalundborg Bioenergi) Will treat ton biomass pr year Natural gas (upgraded biogas) and fertiliser Energy = households CO 2 savings = tons/y

16 LCA: ENERGY SYMBIOSIS

17 LCA: Water symbiosis

18 GENERIC MODELS

19 ANNUAL SAVINGS BY LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA) ton CO 2 (environmental) 106 mill. DKK (socioeconomic) 182 mill. DKK (business economic) The same amount of CO 2 used on average over a year by Danes Enough to buy 354 brand new electric powered cars Equivalent to having 252 academics employed for a year

20 SOCIOECONOMIC BENEFITS Mio. kr. / year Energy Water Materials Totals

21 KALUNDBORG SYMBIOSIS WILL BE THE WORLD LEADING INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS WITH A CIRCULAR APPROACH TO PRODUCTION.

22

23 BENEFITS Increased growth and competitiveness Lower production costs with fewer expenses for purchasing and disposal Income from by-products Decoupling of growth and resource consumption Growth, with improved resource efficiency and reduction in waste Lower CO 2 emissions

24 BENEFITS Better control and adaptability Wider choice of suppliers and increased energy security with multipronged strategy (by creating and utilising one s own local resources, one obtains less dependence on imports and world markets) Increased resilience by acting in partnerships that, for example, secure local resources in the long term and are less exposed to the instability and fluctuations of world markets Increased control and management of the flow of resources and materials

25 BENEFITS Better innovation and business development Development and innovation strength achieved by connecting different competences both internally at the companies and between companies Increased possibility of employee innovation. Development of new products, customer groups and markets New business models based on the utilisation of resources in the residual flows New export opportunities

26 BENEFITS Increased motivation and market value Increased PR and CSR value locally and globally Opportunity for shared marketing and investor efforts Increased motivation, job satisfaction and pride among the employees involved
