Energy management on industrial parks in Flanders

Abstract: In the race against climate change, aiming for low-carbon competitiveness, Flanders has initiated a carbon neutrality strategy on industrial parks, building towards energy efficient buildings and processes, acting as a stimulus for the production and consumption of green electricity. However, premises and internal process optimisation on industrial parks is not considered sufficient to limit greenhouse emissions in Flanders. Structural transition is called for, aiming for industrial clustering and energy auton… Show more

“…Furthermore, besides these, there can be industrial and civil waste waters treatment plants as well as power plants for the production of energy addressing the need of whole area. Thus, through such inter-company partnering this industrial parks can be considered in principle a sort of industrial "metabolism" (Maes et al [9]), where, which is the conceptually a reaction intermediate or a by-products or a waste of one productive activities, might be employed as feedstock in the production process of another installation, allowing material and energy cycling. These exchanges result in cost savings and revenues for the companies, which might be able decrease costs for waste disposal and for secondary raw materials.…”

“…In the case of utility synergies, waste-to-energy and combined heat and power plants offer excellent anchor tenant possibilities due to their heat, steam and electricity production, which can be used in co-located industries to improve products and performance (Korhonen, 2001;Martin and Eklund, 2011). Maes et al (2011) assert that energy clustering is a local optimization problem which can provide strong benefits, such as reduced installation costs through economies of scale, higher production efficiency of large scale installations, accessibility to more efficient techniques, reduced maintenance costs, reduced taxes and through subsidies. Then, the attainability of cleaner energy production and therefore a lower carbon footprint could be increased by clustering.…”

“…Moreover, when analysing the carbon neutrality strategy on industrial parks in Flanders Maes et al (2011) highlight the need of an actor keeping a "helicopter view" closely associated to identify clustering opportunities together with the located businesses and possible external connections. They suggest that since clustering requires a lot of time and expertise, it could be outsourced to overcome operational, technical, legal and financial barriers.…”
