Descripción del proyecto
Conectar a las partes interesadas y compartir conocimientos para impulsar Hubs4Circularity
Hubs4Circularity (H4C) son ecosistemas sociotécnicos para la simbiosis industrial (urbana) a gran escala y la economía circular que permiten cerrar los circuitos de energía, recursos y datos a escala regional. Son un componente principal para alcanzar los objetivos de neutralidad climática en 2050. El objetivo principal del equipo del proyecto H4C Europe, financiado con fondos europeos, es crear una comunidad de prácticas que conecte las iniciativas de H4C con los agentes de la industria, las regiones, las ciudades, así como las organizaciones de investigación y desarrollo. Las partes interesadas se conectan a través de una plataforma de conocimiento establecida, además de en talleres y eventos para compartir conocimientos, experiencias, herramientas y materiales. En general, en el proyecto se facilitará la creación, ampliación y reproducción de ecosistemas de H4C. Asimismo, permitirá avanzar más rápidamente hacia la simbiosis industrial (urbana) y las cadenas de valor circulares.
Objetivo
H4C Europe project will create a European Community of Practice (ECoP). It will provide a community, knowledge platform, and exchange structures that will help the existing and future hubs in creation, management, and growth, by overcoming barriers to IS/I-US/C. The ECoP is set up to be self-sustaining. 10 existing Hubs have committed to join as ECoP Founding Members. The ECoP will preserve the findings of IS/I-US/C research and innovation projects, especially those funded by the EC and member states. It will organize a continuous exchange of ideas and best practices and facilitate in-depth exchanges between experts to identify bottlenecks, evaluate the outcomes of related projects, and propose innovative approaches to overcome bottlenecks. Possible topics include the financing and operation of IS infrastructures, matching demand and supply in IS and I-US, sharing benefits, cross-border exchange of materials, water, and waste-water systems, regulatory issues in the use of secondary raw materials, the tension between re-use and use of waste as feedstock, to name a few. Digitalization is a transversal enabling aspect of IS/I-US/C and the usage of digital tools will be an important aspect of each expert group. In line with the call and to achieve its vision, the CSA will work along four axes: 1) Sustainable Community building and establishment of an IT knowledge platform as a tool, 2) Consolidation and creation of available knowledge by analysis of the state of the art, in-depth discussions of leading experts, and field trials of business models and financial strategies a.o. for large-scale demonstrators, 3) Development of a KPI toolkit for the assessment of the maturity of IS/I-US/C regional initiatives towards H4C and independent evaluation of H4Cs as candidates for lighthouse projects, as well as the elaboration of policy recommendations, 4) Promotion of the H4C concept, societal engagement, and policy recommendations.
