Population 18.5M (estimate)

Royal Haskoning

AimsTo win the tender by creating a project proposal for the sustainable development of a whole (Greenfield) area, by providing:

• (Advanced) solutions for the development of an industrial zone (to be an eco-industrial park).• Concept solutions/proposal for the development of the whole area in a sustainable way. • Develop a “model concept” of sustainable industrial development for developing countries.

Systems thinking

Sustainable Solutions

Integration of Social, Environmental and Technical disciplines

(People, Planet, Prosperity)

The Industrial Ecology approach

Our Goal

We gain experience of applying Industrial Ecology principles and integrating them in a real case by doing this project.

This project proposal should help and/or inspire Royal Haskoning to win the call for tender proposed by the Cameroon government for the development of the industrial zone and maybe later the development of the whole area.

The Area

Backcasting overview

Backcasting 2

Analysing the present situation:Existence (current problems)

Resources (Stakeholder inventory)

Incentives (existing projects)

Backcasting 3

Envision possible future situations:Eco-Industrial Complex

Local Environmental Rehabilitation

100% Renewable Energy

Integration of the government ideals and local lives

Population welfare: richness of culture/healthcare/education

Backcasting 4

• Build scenarios– Create concepts for the industrial site– Elaborate on local social issues (eg. providing jobs,

healthcare, education & sanitary solutions)– Feasability and cost estimation

• Think about implementation of the project (Especially in organisational and financing terms)

Aluminium refinery

Input: Output:

Bauxite Aluminium

Energy Heat

Water Wastewater

Possibilities:

Integrating industry

Generate electricity

Utilize waste heat

Bauxite mining in the country

Opportunities in the Country

Kyoto ProtocolCameroon has signed the protocol,

carbon trading possible

Millennium goalsThe trend in the country is that they

get closer to reaching the goals.

Development is made with both

educational, health and poverty

goals

Indigenous people Hunter Gatherers Tourist attraction

though they rarely benefit

• Indigenous People Plan (IPP)

• Minorities should be specifically

• protected (land rights for the Pygmies)

To Do

Make the scenarios for the backcastingMake a preliminary plan of the developement of

the Industrial zone Interviews with experts & research on

• CO2 (trading)• Similar projects• Logistics• Eco Tourism• Ecology and biodiversity
