Imagine a city and a factory acting like a team where one's trash becomes the other's treasure. This project builds a digital map and a simulation tool to coordinate how energy, water, and materials move between them. It's like a smart traffic control system, but for carbon and waste instead of cars.
Industrial sites often operate in isolation from the cities around them, leading to wasted energy, unused by-products, and high pollution levels that hurt both the company's image and the local environment.
The project is building interoperable dataspaces, participatory digital twins, real-time monitoring systems, and simulation models for resource and energy planning.
If you are an industrial waste processor dealing with inefficient by-product management — this project developed interoperable dataspaces and digital twins that optimize resource flows. This allows you to identify new buyers for waste streams in real-time.
If you are a municipal energy utility dealing with high energy demand and fragmented infrastructure — this project developed simulation models and real-time monitoring. This helps you integrate industrial energy surpluses directly into the city grid.
If you are a heavy industry plant manager dealing with high greenhouse gas emissions and regulatory pressure — this project developed evidence-based decision-making tools. This helps you plan the transition to a climate-neutral site using shared regional data.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided as the project is in the funding and setup phase.
Yes, the project explicitly focuses on replicability and scalability, designing tools that are adaptable to diverse local contexts and governance structures.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing models are not yet detailed, though the project emphasizes the creation of interoperable dataspaces.
The project provides real-time monitoring and evaluation tools to help industrial sites transition toward climate-neutral and sustainable ecosystems.
The project period runs from 2026-06-01 to 2029-05-31, suggesting tools will be developed and tested during this window.
The project features a broad European reach with 32 partners across 12 countries. With a 28% industry ratio (9 industrial partners), there is a solid foundation for commercial validation, though the heavy presence of 12 'Other' entities and 11 academic/research partners suggests a strong emphasis on governance and theoretical modeling over immediate commercial productization.
