Multi stakeholder support: methodology
report
This report details a structured approach developed within the European INITIATE project, aimed at fostering industrial symbiosis between the steel and chemical industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to create a circular economy by reusing residual steel gases to manufacture urea with a reduced carbon footprint. This report presents the methodology used to support this transition and outlines how it can be applied to other industrial transformations. The INITIATE project aims to tackle the complex challenge of creating a sustainable and circular value chain by enabling collaboration between industries with diverse interests and objectives. To achieve this, the methodology supports decision-making among stakeholders and guides the transition from conceptual ideas to investment decisions in more sustainable processes. Key aspects of this process include reducing uncertainties, building trust, and narrowing down strategic options to select the most feasible and profitable pathways. The methodology is designed to be flexible and adaptable to other industrial contexts, promoting sustainable, crosssectoral innovation while supporting decision-making in uncertain environments.
