Unleashing the Full Potential of Industrial Clusters: Infrastructure Solutions for Clean Energies
This white paper examines the current challenges for clean energy infrastructure and identifies solutions that industrial clusters, transport and logistics industries, and the wider clean energy value chain can jointly explore in order to accelerate its deployment.
This white paper examines the current challenges for clean energy infrastructure and identifies solutions that industrial clusters, transport and logistics industries, and the wider clean energy value chain can jointly explore in order to accelerate its deployment.
Increased collaboration is required within and across clusters achieved through the following solution areas:
- Develop a common vision at cluster level
- Expedite the scaling of cluster-level clean energy initiatives
- Strengthen the collaboration across clusters and regions
The paper outlines leading examples of how stakeholders have successfully used clusters to achieve outcomes unattainable in isolation. This collaborative approach must be scaled by government, industry and academic organizations worldwide to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals. By highlighting leading examples, the paper aims to inspire companies and institutions to enhance their collaborative efforts, thereby scaling the necessary infrastructure via:
- Mobilizing co-located companies
- Strengthening existing clusters and partnerships across the value chain
- Connecting clusters into a global network
