SUSTAINABLE CIRCULAR ECONOMY TRANSITION: FROM INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS TO HUBS FOR CIRCULARITY

project information

project description

The IS2H4C project is driving the transition from industrial symbiosis to Hubs for Circularity (H4C), focusing on decarbonization, resource efficiency, and circular economy in heavily industrialized regions across Europe. our research develops methodologies to assess socio-economic impacts and optimize hydrogen-based heating solutions in industrial and residential settings. we evaluate regional hydrogen supply chains, policy frameworks, and financial models, ensuring the feasibility of large-scale adoption. We focus on real-world demonstration, analyzing pilot hydrogen integration projects to assess technical performance, sustainability, and social acceptance. By combining techno-economic analysis, industrial policy research, and real-world data, we help shape scalable, circular, and low-carbon energy solutions, paving the way for the next generation of sustainable industrial hubs across Europe.
