• Residential building with 8 apartments

• High standard• Solar collectors, photovoltaics

and a wind mill • Electric cars, scooters and

bicycles• Balancing electricity• Control by app• Interviewing and collecting data

Results?• Still in analyse phase – but some

conclusions can be made

Case 1: ”The Sustainability”Smart homes – combining smart grids, renewable energy and electric mobility

Case 2: Northern Harbour

Scope: Excess and renewable heat for the district heating grid

- Mapped energy, waste and transport flows in the Northern Harbour

- Interviewed energy produces and consumers in the Northern Harbour

…continued to EPIC 2020

The project:• EU-project ongoing between 2013-2016, and includes 4 port areas

in 4 countries.

Activities:• Starting up a stakeholder platform for an active network in the port

area. • Investigation of the bioenergy potential in the harbour and

surrounding region.• Study established businesses untapped resource flows• Finding opportunities for new cooperation's connected to the

untapped resource flows • Forming vision and strategies for implementing the symbiotic

concept

…which lay the basis for “Shared Energy doubles the force”

The project• 12 partners with connections to the port area – Industries, public/port

authorities, academia and knowledge institutes

Activities:• Optimize the industries use of energy, map untapped flows, and utilize those

flows in existing businesses or new establishments/applications;

• Low grade heat as a resource for farming – called a biological cooling chain;

• Test smart grids to industries;

• Investigate and test a higher temperature flexibility in the heating grid;

• The future role for the system operator

• Vision and strategies for industrial symbiosis in the port area

Stakeholder roles

• The city as a facilitator of the process • E.ON – a champion• Other industries – followers, own initiatives varies

Workshop – time to get busy!

Which are the main barriers for developing industrial symbiosis in your respective areas?

Barriers (from our perspective, some examples)

• Lack of knowledge about industrial symbiosis• Lack a champion – different roles, positions and

organisations in the area;• Traditional planning of new and existing areas;• Strategic marketing in favour for both new establishments

and to fit the ”existing” industrial symbiosis;• Business confidentiality – not an open attitude to others• Actors may find it difficult to see their new role;• Matureness of catching new opportunities within business

development differs;• Low knowledge of neighbours businesses;• Limited resources to go beyond business as usual;• Difficult to estimate the results and effects of industrial

symbiosis (with that; difficult to attract actors to engage)

How do we overcome the barriers?

– Solutions and opportunities?– Technical and organisational? – Key actors and target groups?
