Actions and projects towards a BioEnergy Cluster in Western Macedonia

Transcription

1 INTERREG IVC BioEnArea Actions and projects towards a BioEnergy Cluster in Western Macedonia Yannis Fallas, UoWM Kozani,

2 Examples of agglomeration Competitive advantage of Nations

3 Cluster = natural economic phenomenon

4 Silicon Valley - Universities (Stanford, Berkeley, ) - Large companies (Hewlett Packard, Sun, Yahoo, Intel, Xerox, Apple, Adobe, 3Com, ) - average wage = 1,5 x rest USA average wage

5

6 Natural economic phenomenon artificially created?

7 Sophia Antipolis, Nice / France Pierre Lafitte vision for a new Quartier Latin in the nature (City of Science and Wisdom)

8 Sophia Antipolis

9 Sophia Antipolis today 5 communities enterprises (IBM labs, Texas Instruments, Thomson, Aerospatiale, France Telecom, employees students researchers High specialization: ICT, health sector, business support and services,

10 Enterprises: benefits from Clusters -Direct and easy access to specialized providers, services, financial and human resources -Spill-overs of information and knowledge -Flexibility, direct response and change due to high degree of specialization -Faster adaptation to innovation through imitation

11 Only black or white? Clusters either spontaneous or artificial?

12 Western Macedonia Bioenergy Cluster

13 Energy Sector Public Power Corporation 4 extended mines 50 Mtns / yr 5 Power Stations > MW ~ employees > 200 SME s cooperating District heating

14 Energy sector

15 Wood sector -Wood manufacturing SME s -Wood biomass for heat purposes -Potential for district heating -Potential for pellets production

16 VEVI PPC (plants) AMYNDEO ISFTA PTOLEMAIDA UoWM Wood SME s KOZANI TEI Region GREVENA

17 Residues -Cooperatives (wine, fruits, etc) -Urban waste (DIADYMA) -Other residues

18 VEVI PPC (plants) AMYNDEO ISFTA PTOLEMAIDA UoWM Wood SME s KOZANI TEI Region GREVENA

19 Wood + energy crops -Potential huge demand (PPC) -Huge landfields for forest and energy crops cultivation -Increasing interest for biomass cofiring -Existing infrastructure for district heating

50 and so on all happening inside the Bioenergy Cluster without always knowing

51 Regional Bioenergy Office BioEnergy Cluster

52 WM BIOENERGY CLUSTER ADVANTAGES +Research capacity +Know - how +Co-financing potential +Public sector support +Establishment and entrepreneurship potential

53 WM BIOENERGY CLUSTER OBSTACLES -Critical mass? -Leadership? / mechanism? -Export oriented? -Financing? -Crisis

54 Overall regional benefits -Reduction of CO2 emissions -Potential increase of exports (pellets) -Increase of green energy share for internal consumption or export purposes -Better conservation of forests, namely against wild fires -SME s & employment increase, namely in rural areas

55 Main development priorities: -Clear intra- & inter- regional mapping -Vision and long term strategy -Short term action plan -Business plan -Establishment and operation of structure
