“…This organic growth of the industrial symbiosis network seems to be in line with earlier suggestions that one symbiotic relation leads to further resource innovations (e.g., by Jensen, Basson, Hellawell, & Leach, 2012;Short, Bocken, Barlow, & Chertow, 2014).…”

“…Vigon (2002), writing about industrial ecology in the cement industry, says that "the heart of IE (i.e., Industrial Ecology, authors' comment) concept is the idea that businesses can exchange materials or energy to mutual advantage." Likewise, it is commonly stated that an important purpose of industrial symbiosis 5 is to become more resource efficient (or competitive, Côté and Hall, 1995;Lombardi and Laybourn, 2012), where improved material and energy flows can lead to economic benefits (Jensen et al, 2012;Mirata and Emtairah, 2005;cf. Ayres, 1989 as referred to in Chertow, 2000).…”

Improving the CO2 performance of cement, part III: The relevance of industrial symbiosis and how to measure its impact, 2015, Journal of Cleaner Production, (98) AbstractCement production contributes to extensive CO2 emissions. However, the climate impact can vary significantly between different production systems and different types of cement products. The market is dominated by ordinary Portland cement, which is based on primary raw materials and commonly associated with combustion of vast amounts of fossil fuels. Therefore, the production of Portland cement can be described as a rather linear process. But there are alternative options, for example, involving large amounts of industrial byproducts and renewable energy which are more cyclic and thus can be characterized as relatively "synergistic."The main purpose of this article is to study how relevant the leading ideas of industrial symbiosis are for the cement industry based on a quantitative comparison of the CO2 emissions from different cement production systems and products, both existing and hypothetical. This has been done by studying a group of three cement plants in Germany, denoted as Cluster West, and the production of cement clinker and three selected cement products. Based on this analysis and literature, it is discussed to what extent industrial symbiosis options can lead to reduced CO2 emissions, for Cluster West and the cement industry in general.Utilizing a simplified LCA model ("cradle to gate"), it was shown that the CO2 emissions from Cluster West declined by 45% over the period 1997 -2009, per tonne of average cement. This was mainly due to a large share of blended cement, i.e., incorporation of byproducts from local industries as supplementary cementitious materials. For producers of Portland cement to radically reduce the climate impact it is necessary to engage with new actors and find fruitful cooperation regarding byproducts, renewable energy and waste heat. Such a development is very much in line with the key ideas of industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis, meaning that it appears highly relevant for the cement industry to move further in this direction. From a climate perspective, it is essential that actors influencing the cement market acknowledge the big difference between different types of cement, where an enlarged share of blended cement products (substituting clinker with byproducts such as slag and fly ash) offers a great scope for future reduction of CO2 emissions.

The Humber region, in North East England, is a major hub of industrial activity and trade. It has seen applications of industrial symbiosis for many years, initially centred on 'top-down' infrastructure projects with large capital investment but subsequently following a 'bottom-up' approach engaging industries in the area. Reductions in GHG emissions and waste generation have already been impressive. The possibilities for further savings, recognising the European Union's aspirations for deep GHG cuts and the objectives of the A.SPIRE partnership involving 114 stakeholders from the process industries in Europe, have been explored in the LOCIMAP (low-carbon industrial manufacturing parks) project, which involved partners from across Europe. Industrial symbiosis has been central in the plans for LOCIMAP from the outset. Studies conducted for LOCIMAP have revealed that more substantial savings require industrial symbiosis to be designed in, rather than developed once facilities exist. Major further savings depend on co-location of activities in eco-industrial parks to enable systematic process integration, but following this approach raises further questions, including:-How can such systems be engineered without compromising safety? -What are the implications for system resilience? -How does close integration affect operations such as maintenance?The project has shown that we have the engineering ability to achieve deep reductions in energy use and GHG emissions provided industries can be located in eco-industrial parks with interactions designed according to thermodynamic principles. Barriers to realising this concept, to achieve a new industrial revolution, include an economic and fi scal system which means that design for optimal economic performance leads to different outcomes from designing for optimal environmental performance.
