Tiivistelmä
This report is one in a series of three produced during the project EteVä Pilot - energy efficient and low-carbon pilot solutions and outlines the research and results of the project. The aim of the project was to support local area of Central Ostrobothnia in the transition to renewable energy and low carbon solutions. The focus of the project was to investigate the different waste energy and by-product streams created by companies in the region and to improve their energy and material efficiency. To achieve this goal this project had three different thematic pilots carried out during the project, in which specified defined topics were investigated, data was collected from companies and existing solutions, and some new solutions were suggested. These results are presented in a Best Practices publication and a report series of which this is the first report. In figure 1 the thematic pilots of the project are presented.
This report is the first in the series and outlines the results of the first thematic pilot, Pilot A – companies’ synergies for energy production. The other thematic pilots were Pilot B – Internal waste energy and by-product utilization potential and Pilot C – Energy storage.
The companies’ synergies for energy production pilot focused on finding potential solutions for waste heat and by product utilization within the Central Ostrobothnia region between existing organisations that could be mutually beneficial. This report outlines potential solutions that aim to bridge companies throughout different fields, from industrial parks to biogas potential in the region to commercial hubs for sharing side streams and by-products. This report outlines larger scale solutions while the next report for Pilot B and Pilot C will outline more detailed specifications that this report is based on.
