2. June 2003 No methodology No members 9 practitioners 3 pilot regions Limited RDA funding National Industrial Symbiosis Programme Make something happen!

3. June 2003 No methodology No members 9 practitioners 3 pilot regions Limited RDA funding June 2006 5000 + companies 90+ practitioners 9 UK teams + Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland….first nationally based IS programme in the world 6 million GBP Top ranking by DEFRA of its 31 BREW funded programmes National Industrial Symbiosis Programme Make something happen!

4. Industrial Symbiosis Business Opportunity Landfill↓ Jobs↑ New Business↑ CO2↓ Sales↑ Costs↓ Learning↑ Innovation↑ Transport↓ Pollution ↓ Asset Utilisation↑

5. Regional Economic Strategy • In common with the Overall Aims of 900756 GHG Emission umbrella, the aims of the project are: - • To move the region towards a low-carbon economy through • Diversification of the energy mix • Reduction in energy use (energy use, resource efficiency, sustainable construction) • To demonstrate that through a ‘sustainable development’ approach, the greenhouse gas target is not a barrier to economic development and regeneration. Rather, to showcase the greenhouse gas target as a • driver for innovation, new partnerships and ways of working. • catalyst for the region to develop and implement new technologies • a measure of our relative success in delivering sustainable economic development and regeneration of the region. [aim one]

6. Humber Region - Programme developed in the Humber region. - Excellent political connections with North Lincolnshire Council, North-East Lincolnshire Council and the East Riding of Yorkshire Priorities in the Humber a) To develop recycling routes for the considerable quantities of inorganic material and maintain a sustainability and competitive advantage in the food industry. b) To contribute to the strategic objectives on the South Humber Bank, the full utilisation of the utility capacity offered by Immingham CHP c) Add value to the inward investment programme

7. Case Study 3: Development of the South Humber Bank • South Humber Bank Development • Includes Europe’s largest CHP750MW • DTI support

10. The Proposal

11. The Analysis

12. The Outcome

13. IS as the vehicle for collaboration • - non partisan • technically competent • Regional Government • Local government • Private sector The Players

14. …supply chain development

15. Cement / Brick Industry • Seek • calcium, • iron, • aluminium • silica • Food & Beverage • Diatomaceous earth • Spent filter clays • Fullers Earth

16. Resource issues have developed… ……to reflect the economic make-up of the region Plastics Chemicals Food &Agriculture Metals Inorganics Energy & Alternative Fuels Metals Rich Wastes

17. Food &Agriculture Chemicals Synergy patterns are the basis for strategic rather than tactical delivery Inorganics Energy & Alternative Fuels

18. A Strategic Future… Supply Chain Options Plastics Non Food Crops Northern Way Chemicals Food &Agriculture WEEE Delivery Sustainable Construction Metals Inorganics Biofuels and biomass Regional Metal Recovery Energy & Alternative Fuels Metals Rich Wastes

19. Case Study 4: Biorefinery • Development of the Bio-refinery Concept using Glycerine a platform molecule. • 1 of 10 key platform molecules: US dept energy. • Green feedstock + green chemistry • Development of future chemical and pharma industries • Improved the economics of the biofuels sector. • Key Parties • Green Chemistry – York University • National Non-Food Crop Centre • Biodiesel Supply Chain

20. A Strategic Future… Supply Chain Options Plastics Non Food Crops Northern Way Chemicals Food &Agriculture In response to the Regional Economic Strategy….‘Industrial Symbiosis’ promotes economic development and regeneration…and is a showcase in the delivery of greenhouse gas (and other) targets….. WEEE Delivery Sustainable Construction Metals Inorganics Biofuels and biomass Regional Metal Recovery Energy & Alternative Fuels Metals Rich Wastes

21. Key Features • Business Led • Economic Benefits pulls through environmental and social benefits • Bottom Up Approach • Do something NOW • Initially tactical Company A trades with Company B • Resource mapping regionally and nationally • Strategic Contributions • Inward Investment • Regional Biofuels strategy • Regional zinc recovery project • UK is one large industrial park

22. Key Success Factors • Talk business when talking to businesses • Buy in from businesses at the beginning • Not Consultancy • People we have discussions are the experts in their industry • No back-selling of ideas • Confidence, deliver early successes, even if small to gain buy in. Develop trust, build relationships. • Providing space in a busy world…Industrial Symbiosis has been going on along as industry….its just good business ….the programme is an encourager, promoter of good practice and a catalyst

23. NISP achievements in 2005/6 to date Total Cost Savings to Industry £145 Million Total Additional Sales for Industry £65 Million Total Diversion from Landfill 1.5 million tonnes Including 290,000 te hazardous waste Total Carbon Dioxide Reduction 1.2 million tonnes Saved 330,000 m3 industrial water Total Jobs Created 342 Total Jobs Safeguarded 248 Created 15 new businesses
