  1. TheINNOWATERpartnership A Public-Private Innovation Partnership for Better Innovation Support Tools and DeliveryMechanisms in the Water Sector Innowater Water Audit (IWA): Best Practices from Navarra, Spain 19th June 2013, Science Park Scion-DTU, Copenhagen, Denmark Ms. Camino Correia Director of International Area Zabala InnovationConsulting www.europe-innova.eu/innowater innowater@ewp.eu

  2. INNOWATER WATER AUDIT To determine the current status of water management in the enterprise To assist in the determination of specific improvement measures that will enable companies to manage in a more sustainable water consumption of the production process. 20 water-using industries: 16 Food & Drink + 4 Pulp & Paper

  3. IWA Methodology Auditpresentation Data Gathering + Desk work Report I Data gathering + conclusions Improvement discussions Report II Improvement plan Between 3-4 visits Between 1-2 visits

  4. Potentialmarket IMPACT of IWA: • Guaranty of fulfilment of regulations, reduction in water consumption, decrease of exploitation costs  Increase of competitiveness • Improvement in water management and its purification helps reducing associated costs, and also improves the competitiveness of the company • Companies could offer better product pricing to their clients. • Improve on sewage brings a better relation with the Administration because of discharge reduction and fulfilment of discharge limits • Transmitting environmental awareness is a key factor in international markets

  5. Technical Checklist • General data on the Company • General data on the Production site • General data on water use • Water abstraction • Water use • Re-use of water • Wastewater • Wastewater treatment • System Flow Diagram Management Checklist (link to European Water Stewardship) • Water Abstraction • Status of chemical quality and biological elements • Restoration and preservation of water-cycle related high conservation value areas • Equitable and transparent water governance • Report 1 - Data Gathering • Introducction and general issues • Study of Waterflow • Waterdiagram • Watercost • Consumption ratios • Watermanagement • Conclusions

  6. Improvement plan • Identification of improvement possibilities • Installations and process technologies • Use of current technologies (employee behaviour) • In management • Selection of improvements: • a. ROI and cost analysis • b. Estimations of impact (water saving, minimizing pollution, etc…) • c. Risk analysis • d. Real possibilities of implementation) • Report 2 - Improvement Plan • Proposals for improvement • Prioritize • Overview of selected improvements • Planning

  7. CASE STUDY (1/2): • SME in the meat sector (cannedmeat), wateruserindustry. • No. Workers: 89 / Annual turnover: €10M / Production/year: 780,062 g. • UNE‐EN‐ISO 9011; British Retail Consortium (BRC), International Food Standard (IFS). • Total water abstraction (m3): 34,800 (100% Public water supply) • Pre-treatments: None • Water Reused (m3/year): None • 90% of abstracted water is discharged (31.320 m3/year) • Waste water treatment: None

  8. CASE STUDY (2/2):

  9. COMMON IWA RESULTS:

  10. IDENTIFIED GOOD PRACTICES:

  11. IDENTIFIED GOOD PRACTICES:

  12. Companie’s GOOD feedback on IWA • Actual measurements were done on-site • Estimated consultant dedication was sufficient to complete the study • Full water cycle status assessment within the company • Planning of achievable improvements actions, together with an estimated ROI • Involvement /commitment from the water using company is essential for the success of the study • Previous knowledge between the company and the consultant is a key factor • The majority of the companies were not involved in water management projects before • The majority of water using companies would continue working with the consultant in this matter even if funds (for vouchers) are not available SO, HOW CAN A COMPANY OVERCOME THE LACK OF RESOURCES?

  13. What’snext: • CIP-Eco-Innowation (deadline 5 September 2013; budget €31.5M) • Objective: Commercialisation of eco-innovativesolutions • R&D phasemust be completed • Approach: first application or market replication of eco-innovative techniques, products, processes or practices • Priorities: MaterialsRecycling, SustainableBuildingProducts, Food&Drink Sector, Water, GreeningBussinesses/ smartpurchasing

  14. 2014 - 2020. • Fighting and adapting to climate change • Sustainably managing natural resources and ecosystems • Ensuring the sustainable supply of non-energy and nonagricultural raw materials • Enabling the transition towards a green economy through eco-innovation • Developing comprehensive and sustained global environmental observation and information systems EuropeanInnovationPartnershipwaterhttp://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/innovationpartnership/index_en.htm LIFE 2014-2020: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/life/about/beyond2013.htm#proposal H2020. Challenge 5 Climate action, Resource efficiency and Raw Materials (3.160 Mill Euros) http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/ • European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) • Knowledge Innovation Communities – KIC CLIMATE (300 Mill euros) • http://www.climate-kic.org/ • Joint Programming Initiative: • Water challenges for a water world • http://www.waterjpi.eu/
