“…In other words, carbon neutral industrial parks should go for 'integrated eco-industry parks' instead of 'green industry parks', but the latter can of course be integrated in the first. Aro [62] supports this thought: "Much of the discussion on GHG mitigation has been targeted at international or national levels where sectoral approaches illuminate the origins of CO 2 emissions and are useful for general industrial GHG policymaking. To achieve real results in the mitigation policy, more and more activities must be set at local or regional levels.…”

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 autonomy based on renewables. Therefore, the concept of industrial symbiosis is analysed to determine how it could improve the energy-related carbon management on industrial parks. This article explores the literature on industrial symbiosis and eco-industrial parks searching for specific energy strategies, and is illustrated with case studies. Energy management on industrial parks can be integrated in the entire development process and park management. Maximising efficiency is a promising local optimisation issue, in which business should be engaged, stimulated and facilitated. By clustering buildings and processes, by energy exchange, collective production and joint contracting of energy services, local synergies can be intensified. Yet, uncertainty and variability in time of energy consumption can keep developers from tailoring industrial park design and utilities. Instead flexibility and solidity could be gained, and the offer of business space could be diversified, supported by a persevering issuing procedure to join similar and matching energy profiles. Energy management on industrial parks in Flanders has only recently started but is expected to gain professionalism. However further research is needed on this flexible design and thermal planning.

“…Figure 5. CO2 emissions sources for food products and beverage industry in the Pirkanmaa region and in the whole country (Aro, 2009 The key parameters were also found suitable for comparing other characteristics of sectors and companies in relation to their CO2 emissions. These comparisons showed, for example, that the Pirkanmaa region is more industrialised than provinces on average but industry in the Pirkanmaa region is less energy intensive than Finnish industry on average: the added value of the industry of the Pirkanmaa region is 12% of the whole country whereas its population is 9%.…”

“…One way is to classify and categorise the sectors and companies according to their energy use. In Aro (2009), this is done in the following way: building energy users (HVAC and lighting), process heat users, process electricity users, and direct combustion users, see table 1. This classification based on the form of energy use is useful when designing regional energy efficiency policies, since energy efficiency improvement/CO2 reduction strategies can be built specifically for each of these four categories.…”
