Energy Transition and the Circular Economy
Innovative and sustainable solutions for energy and industry in city-port regions
Promoting dialogue and cooperation between socio-economic stakeholders to bring their activities closer together, identify potential synergies and encourage better management of natural resources.
Securing low-carbon energy sources for our City Port territories and optimising energy use.
By working together with all of the businesses present in the industrial-port area from an early stage, all of the appropriate legal options can be examined, along with the range of solutions that businesses can adopt in order to comply with environmental legislation. This process begins in the very first stages of a project to maintain, extend or establish industrial and port activities.
In Delfzijl, the very close proximity between port activities (Groningen SeaPorts), industrial activities and the city centre makes for a particularly complex and challenging situation.
Work was carried out with all of the businesses concerned, focusing partly on providing information about the environmental impacts and various legal constraints (such as laws on "noise zoning", safety and habitations). But most importantly, it entailed cooperating with the businesses to examine and adapt the whole range of solutions, including abandoning projects and/or relocating activities.
