Urban industrial symbiosis in public planning and building permits in Poland /

Pomeranian Voivodship

1. Description about the legal framework of public planning and building permits

The Polish administrative system operates on three self-governed piers. The municipality (gmina) is the principal unit (lowest level) of territorial division in Poland. The next one is the county (powiat). The major territorial and administrative unit is called the voivodship (województwo).

The municipalities are obliged to plan and organize energy supply and they are required to develop their own development strategies including strategies for renewable energy and waste management. The plans and strategies prepared by municipalities must be consistent with the national energy policy where its consistency is controlled on the voivodship level.

In order to realise any kind of building investment, the application and attachments are submitted to the office of the body (chancellery), who has the right competences for the planned investment, which in the case of Gdańsk is the local office of Gdańsk (Urząd Miasta Gdańsk). The required documents and responsible units are summarized in Table 1.

2. Description of the Municipality Gdańsk

Pomeranian Voivodeship - often referred as Pomeranian Region – covers the region situated in the northern part of the country on the Baltic Sea coast. It borders on the Scandinavian countries across the sea-border in the north, and the Kaliningrad Exclave of the Russian Federation in the east. The Pomeranian Voivodship is divided into 20 counties (4 cities and 16 rural counties). These are further divided into 123 municipalities. There are 42 cities and 2993 villages in the region. The capital of the Voivodship is Gdańsk. Gdańsk forms with the cities Gdynia, Sopot the metropolitan area Tricity, which is a very important transport junction and the largest academic and scientific centre of the Northern Poland, as well as the main cultural centre.

Gdańsk, the first time written mentioned in 997, has had a varied and moving history due to its strategic location at the crossroads of commercial and communication routes at the Baltic sea. Currently, 428’799 persons are registered for permanent residence and 9292 persons are registered for temporary stay in Gdańsk, which makes in total 438’091 inhabitants [1]. The Central Statistical Office quotes 461’798 inhabitants (30. June 2015) [2]. The number of inhabitants is increasing since 2009 due to natural growth and migration (Figure 1). 97.4% of inhabitants were born in Poland, whereas 2.6% were born abroad. Gdańsk has an area of 263.44 km2 which gives a settlement density of 1663/km2 to 1753/km2 [1]. 60.1% of inhabitants are in the working age, whereas 16.7% and 23.3% are in the pre- and post-working age, respectively. In 2016, the unemployment rate was 3,6%, which is nearly two times lower in comparison to Poland (8.3%) and the Pomeranian Voivodship (7.3%).

In 2016, 1626 enterprises were registered per 10 thousand inhabitants. In total, 75’402 enterprises were registered, of which 95,9% belong to the private sector [1]. The economy of the city is dominated by tourism, shipbuilding, petrochemical & chemical industries. The



sector of electronics, telecommunications and IT are on the rise. 79% of enterprises in the private sector are supplying services to consumers and businesses [3]. Nearly 21% belong to the secondary sector and only 0.3% of enterprises are involved in forestry, fishing or agriculture. The majority, 95.8%, are micro enterprises and the remaining percentages 3.4%, 0.7%, and 0.2% are distributed between small, medium and large enterprises, respectively. 74 enterprises are employing between 250 to 999 labours and 17 enterprises are employing more than 1000 labourers. In 2103, goods of 23 billion PLN were exported and goods of 37.2 billion PLN were imported to Gdańsk [3].

Figure 1: Population development of Gdańsk City from 2000 to 2016 [1]

Assuring the prosperity of the city, the municipality of Gdańsk has enunciated the Gdańsk

2030 Plus development strategy [4]. The priorities are implemented in Idea Clouds, which are: Inhabitants, Learning, Cooperation, Mobility and Openness (Figure 2). The vision of Gdańsk is expressed as following: “ Gdańsk is a city gathering and attracting what is most valuable – people who are proud of their heritage, community spirited, open-minded, creative, developing and jointly shaping their future.” The areas of strategic development are: education and social capital, economy and transport, public space, culture and health. The implementation of the vision shall result in the improvement of life quality and an increase of inhabitants.

3. Description of the industrial symbiosis and the site

Gdańsk is situated at the Motława River and 5 km above the Vistula estuary and possess the principal seaport of Poland, which is one of the largest seaports on the Baltic Sea. The metropolitan area Tricity is connected by the expressway S6 with Szczecin and by the motorway A1 with central Poland (see Figure 3). In the northwest of the city lies the international Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, which served 4 million passengers in 2016. Within the metropolitan area functions the Fast Urban Railway (SKM) which connects the area with Słupsk (110 km west of Gdynia) and Tczew (31 km south of Gdańsk). The railway system was modernized during the last years and allows speeds up to 200 km/h. The port is directly connected to the railway system.

Especially the heavy industry (like shipyards, refinery or fertilizer company) is located at the Martwa Wisła (dead branch of Vistula river), which flows through the northeast of Gdańsk (Figure 3 and 4). The south and the west of the city are characterized by residential areas, whereas remaining parts of Gdańsk are mixed areas.

The energetic infrastructure is shown in Figure 5. The whole metropolitan area is covered by district heating, where the Gdańsk Heating Company GPEC provides its service to around 57% of buildings in Gdańsk [5]. The primary energy consumption is mainly based on fossil fuels. The Polish generation of electricity is mainly based on hard coal (48%) and lignite



(34%) [6]. The largest Polish energy companies and their share in usage of renewable energy sources is as following: Tauron (7.34%), PGE (0%), Energa (41%), Enea (7.68%), whereas Energa has its headquarter in Gdańsk. Due to the low price of EU ETS carbon credits, the development of renewable energy sources is jeopardised.

The Pomeranian region receives natural gas from the high-methane natural gas trunk line Gustorzyn–Gdańsk coming from central Poland. Russia is the largest supplier of natural gas and satisfies around 60% of the Polish demand. The remaining demand is satisfied by Polish gas fields. The company Operator Gazociągów Przesyłowych GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. is responsible for the gas transmission in Poland . In order to increase the energy security, the following investments are implemented: 1) LNG Terminal in Świnoujście, 2) underground gas storage in Kosakowo close to Tricity, 3) Floating Storage Regasification Unit in Gdańsk Bay [7].

4. Implementation of the industrial symbiosis

To this day, aspects of industrial symbiosis have played a minor role in public planning. Till end of the year 2017, the Marshall office is planning to commission a survey on the energy and material streams between companies. Nevertheless, in reality industrial symbiosis is practiced between enterprises, e.g.:

• Joint venture of Grupa LOTOS S.A. and Gdańskie Zakłady Nawozów Fosforowych "Fosfory" Sp. z o.o. for production of ammonium thiosulfate from by-products,

• Joint venture of Zakład Utylizacyjny Sp. z o.o. w Gdańsku and Gdansk Heating Company GPEC Sp. o.o. using heat from waste incineration plant for district heating.
