The need for more knowledge and experience in implementing industrial symbiosis in Europe led to the EU project Coralis – which has now been completed. Researchers from ¸£Àû¼§ led two of the project’s main areas.

Now is the time to invest in the export of Swedish biogas. But perhaps it is primarily knowledge transfer and an understanding of the entire waste management system that Sweden should be exporting.

This project aims to identify and analyze potential synergies for COâ‚‚ utilization at local and regional levels, as well as explore how bio-based industries can contribute to a more renewable and sustainable COâ‚‚ market.

Industrial and Urban Symbiosis (IUS) mitigates economic and environmental problems by creating more value with fewer resources and emissions. Regenerative businesses can enhance IUS practices and benefits.

BSRC is a national competence center for biogas research administered by the LiU. It's base for the development of innovative and resource-efficient biogas solutions often with positive local and regional effects on the environment and the economy.

A biogas facility associated with the industrial site stimulates industrial symbiosis, which is considered to be crucial in the conversion to a circular economy.

LiU is working to develop a biobased and circular economy in practice, in a symbiosis between Händelö Eco-Industrial Park and Norrköping municipality. The project is an example of how industry and the city can use their resources and waste.

¸£Àû¼§ delivered six practitioner training programs across the Baltic Sea Region to promote and facilitate industrial symbiosis practices.

Researchers at LiU have shown that coordinated management of excrement from animals and humans could save nearly EUR 100 million each year. The key is to produce the biogas from the excrement before it is used as fertiliser.

By communicating and collaborating, businesses can join forces to create greater social, economic and environmental value for society than what they do today, researchers at ¸£Àû¼§ have found.
