SPARK! Meet the platform Industrial Symbiosis

The Climate-KIC student community is invited to tackle five challenges given by the platform Industrial Symbiosis. While the challenges are first presented in Berlin and video-broadcasted to the CLCs in UK, Netherlands and France, students then split up into groups and tackle one challenge per CLC (2 in Berlin). In the end, the outputs are presented via video-broadcast again. The Industrial Symbiosis Platform supports the roll out of demand-led innovation and enables Europe to proactively identify solutions that address regional priorities and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the Platform works with business to optimise resource efficiency across the value chain and throughout the material life cycle delivering cross sectorial innovative Industrial Symbiosis solutions. The five challengers and their fields of expertise are:

Christoph Sievering (Bayer Material Science, GER)

Chemical feedstock utility and infrastructure sharing in future clusters

Arturo Castillo Castillo (Imperial College London, UK)

Ex-ante symbiotic process and product design

Adrian Murphy (International Synergies, West-Midlands RIC UK)

Symbiotic resource matching

Gijsbert Korevaar (TU Delft, NL)
