Industrial clusters, representing a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, pose both challenges and opportunities for decarbonization. With over 3,000 clusters in the EU alone, collaboration becomes essential.
Optimizing industrial systems involves Scope, Scale, and Frequency. These dimensions emphasize the need for a System of Systems (SoS) approach. Despite the inherent complexities, building an integrated SoS for large industrial zones is not only crucial but also attainable.
Our recommended approach seamlessly integrates offline trajectory development with real-time implementation. Crafting a joint decarbonization trajectory for industrial clusters not only reduces costs but also requires a methodical approach. This strategy includes a techno-economic evaluation and an orchestrator's coordination.
Beyond the realm of technology, trust and continuous collaboration are crucial elements for successful implementation. Read the full article to discover how the collective impact of industrial clusters can lead the way to bring decarbonization to life.
