Secure Management Platform for Shared Process Resources Rachel Lombardi Industrial Symbiosis Committee Manager
Quick overview Topic: SPIRE 6 Energy and resource management systems for improved efficiency in the process industries Grant Agreement no. 637232 Start date: 1stSeptember 2015 End date: 31stAugust 2019 Participants: 15 partners, 6 EU countries SME-led project that includes the SME leader in industrial symbiosis, industrial clusters and companies, academia and institutes.
SHAREBOX: Facilitating the next generation industrial symbiosis delivery to process industries through ICT and data intelligence Industrial symbiosis: Engages diverse organisations in a network to foster eco- innovation and long-term culture change. Creates and shares knowledge for novel sourcing of required inputs, value-added destinations for non-product outputs, and improved business and technical processes. Delivers the circular economy: increasing turnover, reducing waste emissions and primary resources consumption. Lombardi and Laybourn, 2014, J. Industrial Ecology
What are the industry challenges to the adoption of industrial symbiosis? Information flow and knowledge of opportunities Lack of a secure platform including cross-sectorial experience Inadequate resource information re.: contamination, classification, distribution and availability SHAREBOX will yield a world first ICT platform with the potential to be a major catalyst for increased industrial symbiosis among process industries.
What is SHAREBOX? A secure platform for the flexible management of shared process resources
What is SHAREBOX? Key objectives To provide plant operations and production managers with the robust, reliable and timely information they need to effectively and confidently identify resource reuse opportunities (for materials, equipment, energy, water, and capacity) with other companies in an optimum symbiotic eco-system. To identify and realise new cross-sectorial interactions ( synergies ) To apply intelligence tools such as input-output (IO) modelling, game theory (GT) and agent-based modelling (ABM)
Specific outputs Process Industries and Industrial Clusters/Parks CCB, Keros, ECI KeraFit, ISSA, Guzman, NEPIC Technology and Advisory SMEs IRIS, ISL Research Organisations UT, Univ Leeds, ZHAW ITC- AICE, UPC Market Actor DECHEMA Assist to bridge innovation gap Technological capacity, Post-project Industrialisation Route to market S&T knowledge, background and expertise Specifications Validation of project output Post-project uptake
Expected outcomes ICT-enabled next generation industrial symbiosis delivery New approaches that perform cost-saving optimisation of energy and resources supply and demand Data mining techniques for further optimisation of industrial symbiosis based on historical big data collected from SHAREBOX Flexible and secure platform that allows secure sharing of information about resources and energy transactions among industries in a Symbiotic Network and for generating operative actions
A synergistic eco-system: Wealthier companies due to extra income and cost savings Less waste generation Cost-effective reduction in resource use through Identification of immediate, medium, and long-term opportunities for resource recovery and reuse Industrial symbiosis engages diverse organisations in a network to foster eco-innovation and long- term culture change
Expected impacts Increased mainstream uptake of industrial symbiosis. Generation of revenue through the deployment of the platform Contribution to growth and jobs by enabling adoption of industrial symbiosis across European process industries and cross-sectorally. Improved eco-innovation capacity of European process industries Liaising with their local ETV bodies to identify innovative environmental technologies suitable for industrial symbiosis implementation based on local resources and data. Cross-sectorial technology transfer: Demonstration activities across 4 different industry clusters in 4 countries will enable technology transfer.
Beyond SHAREBOX boundaries Planned dissemination and exploitation activities will ensure the technology developments reach other interested sectors Active collaboration with other SPIRE projects to multiply impact: SHAREBOX and IbD. SHAREBOX is open to collaboration with similar projects and platforms to ensure a greater project impact. SHAREBOX will contribute to the development of EU-wide shared standards in industrial symbiosis
