Industrial symbiosis assessment and solution pathways for facilitating cross-sectoral energy and material exchange

netzerocities.app/resource-2564

Industrial symbiosis refers to an association between industries where companies’ waste or side products turn into input materials for another company, creating economic gain for both [8]. The word “symbiosis” is usually associated with relationships in nature, where two or more species exchange materials, energy, or information in a mutually beneficial manner. In the case of industrial symbiosis, it is industrial players or companies, often from different sectors but located close-by or even in the same cluster or industrial park that form partnerships to exchange and revalue goods. In many cases, this includes public-private partnerships. In one example, industrial waste heat and CO2 from a sugar refinery were used to heat a greenhouse nearby and the CO2 was used to speed up tomato growing [6].
