Symbiosis platform AarhusSymbiosis platform Aarhus is a project that seeks to promote the circular economy of the industry by systematically recycling and saving resources through industrial symbioses. Among other things, the project will create new partnerships and symbiosis between the city’s companies by collecting and structuring data from companies from company surveys and public databases. This project aims to structure the existing sporadic work with circular economy and symbiosis with which the municipality already has interfaces, in order to ensure that more symbiosis potentials are realised, made corrosionable and that the collected data is used smartly and efficiently. Innovative solutions and collaborationThe project focuses on supporting innovation processes to make companies more circular. It may be, for example, new business models or innovative cooperation between two or more companies. Through innovative collaborations, technologies, business models and symbiosis, the project will ensure a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption for the participating companies, thus contributing to Aarhus Municipality’s goal of CO2 neutrality in 2030.The project is a collaboration between Aarhus Municipality’s Climate Secretariat and AffaldVarme Aarhus as well as external consultants. Overall activitiesThe project is implemented through three main activities and related sub-activities.1. Identification of industrial symbiosis2. Realisation of the potentials of symbioses and start-up of innovative development processes3. Dissemination and communication to end-users and enterprises
