Industrial symbiosis: an economic and climate opportunity
Rhys Roth from Center for Sustainable Infrastructure discusses the concept of Industrial Symbiosis and the economic as well as climate opportunities it presents.
How could forming industrial clusters help create CO2 and other waste offtake opportunities for energy-intensive sectors? Imagine heat, CO2, waste and other outputs being used efficiently to create valuable products.
Rhys Roth joins Alex to talk about his experience in bringing Industrial Symbiosis as a concept to Washington State and the potential that all sides of the political spectrum there see in it, including opportunities for decarbonization as well as regional investment.

Decarb Connect supports the acceleration of industrial decarbonisation around the globe. We share insights and facilitate collaborations across the emerging decarbonisation ecosystem. We look specifically at the most energy-intensive industrials from cement, metals and mining, glass, ceramics, chemicals, O&G and many more and help connect them to technology disruptors, investors and advisors.
Through the Decarbonisation Leaders Network (DLN), our members (a cross-sector network of those leading decarbonisation in energy-intensive industries) share insights and experiences as they accelerate their Net Zero plans. Check out Decarb Connect’s offerings and learn about the Decarbonisation Leaders Network members, meetups and benefits.
