“…Over several years, enterprises in WA have implemented substantial carbon reduction initiatives through energy and process water re-use, through introduction of renewables into their energy mixes, and through the increased focus on by-product reuse and waste reduction strategies [6][7][8][9]. Oughton et al provided an analysis of the latest exchanges which can be found on the KIC website [10,11].…”

“…Currently there are eight direct carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) exchanges between sending and receiving enterprises [12]. The development of IS in Kwinana has been periodically tracked for 30 years, and is summarised in the SKM Western Trade Coast Integrated Assessment (2014) report [9].…”

“…The KIC has been facilitating the achievement of the cluster's reduced carbon profile, with materials, energy and water efficiencies forming part of its agenda since mid-2000s. For example, as early as 2007, the SKM (2007) Integrated Assessment report identified industry as being very pro-active and interested in achieving an industrywide co-ordinated CO 2 emission reduction goal [8,9]. According to SKM (2014), industry recognised the opportunity to establish baseline emissions (to air) data in order to record the history of the effects of emissions reduction strategies.…”

“…(This monitoring would later extend beyond simply CO 2 to include the Australian government's reportable greenhouse gas emission levels). During its extensive interviewing process, SKM (2014) [9] also captured numerous respondent suggestions about the needs of the KIA in respect to its future transition to renewable energy sources including: -Investigate ways to reduce unit cost of gas and improve availability of supply. -Investigate ways to reduce unit cost of electricity for industry.…”

Industrial enterprises around the world are grappling with greenhouse gas emission reduction expectations, whether being driven by respective government policy for climate change or by shareholders to drive corporate sustainability through maintaining access to their ‘net zero’-demanding markets. In some instances, the enterprises co-located within complex industrial areas are coming together to face the common carbon reduction challenge as a collective. The Kwinana Industrial Area in Perth, Western Australia is well regarded on the world's stage as a successful integrated heavy industrial precinct, presenting as an extensive, complex, and broad-based example of Industrial Symbiosis. In earlier papers, the authors have posited a novel four-dimensional framework to expand the definition of Industrial Symbiosis to be used to understand why one industrial precinct may be more successful for its resident industries to operate within than another, and for application in the design of new industrial areas. The four dimensions are described as Materials Exchange, Skilled Workforce, Support Industry, and Governance. Through the lens of climate change literature and policy frameworks, we investigate the governance dimension and industry's response to the contemporary climate challenge. The outputs of the paper include a literature review of the governance dimension, and a description of the cascading nature of climate change policy from global through to the enterprise level. We illustrate how climate change governance is enhanced in practice by detailing how the enterprises in Kwinana collectively responded to the global requirement for carbon reduction, achieved through the facilitative governance-based intervention of their industry association, the Kwinana Industries Council. Exploring this in-practice example helped to consolidate the hypothesis that successful industrial symbiosis is about positive relationships across several dimensions building towards improved Circular Economy outcomes.

“…In the 1970s and 1980s, more energy system models were developed as the result of increased public interest in energy policy issues (Bergman, 1988). A summary on the general purposes of energy models is given by Knight (1989). From the late 1990s to the present, more energy and environmental models are being developed for energy planning by incorporating energy, economy and environmental interrelations, which are described in this chapter.…”

Data Envelopment Analysis Approach to Compare the Environmental Efficiency of Energy Utilization

Due to increasing financial and environmental concerns, governmental rules, regulations and incentives, alternative energy sources are expected to grow at a faster pace than conventional sources of energy. However, the current body of research providing comparative decision-making models for conventional and alternative energy sources is limited. Furthermore, existing literature also falls short in offering a unifying model that benchmarks the technical efficiencies of countries in terms of their energy usage in relation to environmental impact. This paper proposes two sets of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to calculate and rank the technical efficiencies of (i) conventional and alternative energy sources for the United States, and (ii) energy usage of selected countries depending on various criteria. The first set of DEA models considers both the economics of energy sources and additional environmental criteria such as CO2 emissions and damage cost. The second set evaluates the relative technical efficiencies of the top 25 petroleum consuming countries in the world in terms of the environment. Numerical examples are also included to demonstrate the functionality of the proposed models.
