Title Blueprint: A methodology facilitating data exchanges to enhance the detection of industrial symbiosis opportunities - application to a refinery
Year 2020
Published
Abstract The European Union has put the concept of circularity at the heart of its strategy for transitioning towards a low-carbon economy. Measures have been taken in order to promote Industrial Symbiosis (IS). However, one of the main barriers to the dissemination of IS remains the exchange of (confidential) data between industries. This paper presents the concept of industrial sector blueprints as a solution in order to overcome the challenge of sharing information. A blueprint is constituted of a series of profiles providing insights into the key inputs and outputs of a given industry in terms of thermal and electrical energy, materials and services. A methodology, detailing a step-by-step approach for building the profiles and the type of data required, is presented. To demonstrate the feasibility of the methods, it is applied to a typical refinery followed by an example, showing how it can be used in an IS context. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
