Synergy Parks: collaborative strategies to valorise side streams between companies
This document is part of the deliverables for ARBOR, an Interreg IVB project for North-West Europe. ARBOR stands for Accelerating Renewable Energies through valorisation of Biogenic Organic Raw Material. Various of the projects consider multi-stakeholder collaborations, with or without a financial share of ARBOR in the project realisation. This project runs from 2011 till 2015. The framework for ARBOR are the EU 202020 targets in order to reduce climate change and the fact that biomass accounts for 50% of the renewables in Europe. Although a lot of expertise concerning biomass is available, it is noted that this information is not disseminated in a coordinated way, nor is it related to commercial exploitations. That is why the ARBOR-mission is to accelerate the sustainable development and use of biomass in North West Europe, to facilitate the achievement of the EU 202020 objectives. The increasing competition and environmental pressure and growing demand for food and resource efficiency requires cooperation and collaboration between agriculture and other business (Smeets, 2009) especially in the highly populated NWE. When companies systematically cooperate to achieve more sustainable biomass utilization through creating production synergies, we call this a synergy park. Ideally, synergy parks can be called a system innovation, that bring new technical, commercial, institutional, and social connections geared towards sustainable development. Ongoing collaboration and advice on stakeholder management should improve the synergy park composition, to the benefit of optimal biomass valorisation and energy efficiency. This report aims to describe outputs of ARBOR action 5 on Synergy parks, within individual ARBOR-regions. Following an initial meeting on the matter in Stoke-on-Trent, format with leading questions were circu-lated and filled out by the partners as far as possible for their single case.
