IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS STRATEGIES ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT IN ORGANIZED INDUSTRIAL ZONES: KONYA OIZ CASE

Abstract

Industrial symbiosis (IS) refers to the integration and optimization of numerous industrial systems and processes and is inspired by the nature. By allowing the exchange of materials, energy, other resources, byproducts or valuable waste among companies, the goal is to increase resource efficiency and decrease potential waste. In this study, the IS relevant concepts and examples from the literature are briefly discussed, and a survey is conducted in Konya organized industrial zone. The primary obstacle faced during the survey study is the companies' reluctance to communicate and share information. The survey explores the current level of knowledge, existing energy efficiency efforts, and organizations' willingness to address the topic if grants and subsidies are available. Following the survey, exchange opportunities from the literature are compiled, considering the sectoral structure of the selected zone. Sectoral pairings are formed to encourage businesses and to demonstrate applicability and symbiosis opportunities. Hence, outcomes show how industrial symbiosis has an impact on energy and resource efficiency and waste reduction within selected industrial zone. In addition, its connection and relationship with government incentives, investments and energy efficiency networks are also discussed. As a result, it has been found that there is significant symbiosis potential in a growing and developing region like the Konya industrial zone, through sectoral matching of companies. By increasing awareness among companies, providing financial and legal support, and assisting them in setting targets, inter-company symbiosis efforts can be facilitated and expanded.
