TRANSIENCE - TRANSItioning towards an Efficient, carbon-Neutral Circular European industry

将气候行动、资源效率和循环绩效作为一个综合的、经济范围内的、跨领域的问题来处理的必要性越来越受到政策界的关注，这刺激了欧洲和全球新产业政策的制定。然而，目前，在循环经济的概念化和理解其与气候行动的相互作用方面进展甚微。最先进的建模能力，以捕捉两个议程的相互作用及其对能源密集型部门的影响，并代表欧洲工业的转型符合该地区的气候中立的愿景尚未完全开发。TRANSIENCE将通过全球竞争力，创新和整体可持续性的视角来审视欧洲工业的双重转型，对循环原则和脱碳措施进行全面的表征和评估。然后，它将产生MIC3，这是一个一致的，完全开源的模型生态系统，用于评估工业循环，脱碳和可持续性。将开发和整合一系列关于欧洲工业转型的社会经济，服务和产品，材料，工业，能源系统和环境视角的可互操作模块，建立在领先的建模工具的基础上并开放代码。MIC3最终将用于广泛的情景建模，以产生通往材料效率，循环，气候中立，可持续的欧洲工业的多样化路径。将促进透明度、开放性和知识共享，并在欧盟的四个工业聚集区发展技术能力，超越业主协商，进入模型共同开发、不断验证假设、共同创建情景建模、评估所开发模型和见解的可取性和可用性，最终共同产生科学和行动

The need to approach climate action, resource efficiency, and circularity performance as integrated, economy-wide, cross-cutting issuesis growingly gaining attention in the policy world, stimulating the development of new industrial policies in Europe and worldwide.Currently, however, there is little progress in conceptualising the circular economy and understanding its interactions with climateaction. State-of-the-art modelling capacity to capture the interplay of the two agendas and their implications for energy-intensive sectorsas well as to represent the European industry’s transformation in line with the region’s vision for climate neutrality is not yet fullydeveloped. TRANSIENCE will undertake a comprehensive characterisation and assessment of circularity principles and measures visà-vis decarbonisation, by looking at the twin transition of European industries through the lenses of global competitiveness, innovation,and holistic sustainability. It will then produce MIC3, a consistent, fully open-source model ecosystem to assess industrial circularity,decarbonisation, and sustainability. A series of interoperable modules on the socioeconomic, service and product, material, industrial,energy-system, and environmental perspectives of the transformation of European industry will be developed and integrated, building onand opening the code of leading modelling tools. MIC3 will finally be used in extensive scenario modelling to produce diverse pathwaystoward a material-efficient, circular, climate-neutral, sustainable European industry. Transparency, openness, and knowledge sharingwill be promoted, and technical capacities will be developed in four industrial agglomerations in the EU, moving beyond stakeholderconsultation, onto model co-development, continuous validation of assumptions, co-creation of scenario modelling, evaluation of thedesirability and usability of the developed model and insights, and eventually co-production of science and action
