Cleaner Technology Performance Indicators for SMEs

Objetivo



The proposed project focuses on developing of a knowledge based tool (not plain indicators) to support the decision process, and to overcome the data and information constraints that, the SMEs generally have. This project is a continuation of the recent research accomplished by the lead researcher and a major portion of this project study will form the basis of Doctoral Research (Ph. D.) of the Lead Researcher and at least one co-researcher. In addition the project objectives are the outcome of the strong recommendations of the above mentioned research work.

The following project is intended to assist SMEs in improving their energy and material use efficiencies, and on reducing the pollution discharges to the environment (land, air and water). At the same time the objective is to assure the competitiveness of the European SMEs in the global market. The tools that the project intends to use, to develop Cleaner Technology Performance Indicators (CTPI) are Technology Assessment, Benchmarking, Process Optimisation, Cause analysis and Technology Management. The strategies adapted in the project, aims to get the SMEs on-board the journey of continuous (environmental performance) improvement.

The project assumes that sector specific information is easy for SMEs to understand and helps them to comprehend/interpret the context of information provided. Thus the sector-specific information induces fast multiplier effect. Furthermore, there exists an overload of the generic information on CP and CT etc. that is difficult to comprehend and bring in use, specially by SMEs, where the manpower and resources are very limited. A simplified method for assessing the performance and then to interpret the performance to implement changes will overcome such a barrier and would stimulate SMEs to improve their environmental performance. The project targets at and intends to reduce the performance differential that exists between the performance of average mix of units and the best performing units. The proposed project ocuses on developing indicators for SMEs sectors, that have not received due importance by the other on-going efforts in developing indicators, in addition how to use and interpret indicator is also a lagging step in most other projects.

The project output will be

1. Cleaner Technology Performance Indicators (CTPI) for selected SME 2. Best achievable values of these indicators with the available technologies and practices
3. List of best available technologies and practices for each of the selected industry sector.
4. A systematic approach to interpret and use the CTPI to identify, prioritise and implement changes, so as to approach best available technologies (Cleaner Technology Opportunity Assessment CTOA). 5. And Generic CTPI and CTOA method for SMEs based on cross-sectoral experiences.
