| Popis: | This paper provides the basis for the analysis and planning of industrial symbiosis in France, through the most efficient use of existing technologies. The French power mix has largely relied on nuclear plants and, despite an expected decrease of the installed capacity, these thermal plants could remain in the long term. Nuclear plants emit a significant amount of heat into the surrounding environment. Transferring some of this heat to nearby industrial sinks could lead to a reduction in fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Relevant industrial subsectors for using 250 °C power plant-sourced steam are determined based on empirical data at a 5-digit level of disaggregation of NACE revision 2 (including e.g. pulp & paper and basic organic chemicals). The regional and sectoral distribution of relevant facilities is then analysed using spatial mapping methods. Lastly, a techno-economic model is built to assess the feasibility of transferring steam sourced from nuclear plants to industrial users. Compare to on-site steam generation, power plant-sourced steam supply could reduce energy supply costs and CO2 emissions in locations close to these plants. Optimum relocation of factories could make steam exchanges more cost-effective, and such considerations should be incorporated in future local planning strategies. |
