Sector coupling and industrial symbiosis strategies between carbon-intensive sectors
Information
While there is no ‘one size fits all’ for a just transition, carbon intensive sectors such as steel, cement and chemicals often face common challenges in terms of employment, skills or governance. In addition, sector coupling and industrial symbiosis are potential decarbonisation strategies for carbon intensive sectors. Due to these commonalities, the sharing of experiences and knowledge is crucial for the implementation of a just transition in carbon intensive regions. In this session, the technical, organisational and governance requirements for industrial symbiosis strategies between sectors will be discussed by experts in a panel discussion. This will also include best practice examples of cross-sector networking platforms. The aim is to explore the impact of cluster and industrial symbiosis strategies on regional development and a just transition.
