The document discusses Kalundborg Symbiosis, an industrial ecosystem in Denmark, and challenges facing the energy company DONG Energy. It summarizes DONG's role in providing power and heat for Kalundborg via its thermal plant. It outlines issues like overcapacity, increasing renewable energy, and decreasing energy prices. The document proposes ways for the industrial partners to collaborate more through a "Kalundborg solution" utilizing multiple energy sources like biofuels to address these challenges through a more flexible, integrated system.
