Subject: Energy and Material Efficiency in Production Processes and Industry Parks
Cleaner Production for Circular Economy in China:
Energy and Material Efficiency in Production Processes and Industry Parks
May 17th 2006, Tongji University, Shanghai
The College of Environmental Science and Engineering of the Tongji University together with the Energy Research Institute in Beijing and the French-German Institute for Environmental Research in Karlsruhe (Germany) conducts an international seminar on May 17th 2006 in Shanghai.
The improvement of energy and material efficiency provides not only positive effects on the economic performance, but also on the environmental impact of industrial activities. One aim of the concept of Cleaner Production is the improvement of energy and material efficiency.
The international seminar has several objectives:
1. Presentation of the situation of Cleaner Production in Europe and Asia
2. Introduction of the Concept of Pinch Analysis and it's application to determine Best Available Techniques
3. Results and Experiences of Companies and Industry Parks in China and Chile
The seminar is in the context of the research project PepOn "Integrated Process Design for the Inter-Enterprise Plant Layout Planning of Dynamic Mass Flow Networks".
The seminar takes place in a series of international workshops of the PepOn Project. The proceedings of the first international workshop "Challenges for Industrial Production" in 2005 in Karlsruhe are available as a book or online:
