Important results from the project
Purpose: improve the energy efficiency of the harbour, increase utilization of residual flows and to create competitive advantages through business-to-business synergies. Energy efficiency has been improved through heat recovery from the municipal sewage treatment system. Residual flows have been mapped and possible synergies investigated and industrial symbiosis has gained political acceptance within the city, expected to deliver competitive advantages to industries in the harbour area.
Expected long term effects
Expected results have been achieved but further mapping and materialization of residual flow utilization is planned. Several energy efficiency improvements have been materialized or are planned. The concept of industrial symbiosis has become integral to the harbor vision, profiling the harbor as a center for competitive sustainable development and innovation. The city and the utilities companies have taken the role of catalyzing agents of the Malmö symbiosis.
Approach and implementation
Activities have largely been conducted within the separate work packages described in the project application. However, due to the need for cross-discipline collaboration in the innovation process, horizontal activities across work packages have also been conducted. The City of Malmö has been the coordinating actor throughout the project and each WP have reported directly to Malmö.
