Filtering possibilities. Users that have either followed the tutorial or read the information tab can start configuring visualizations for their own purposes. The first step is to select or deselect industrial processes that can act as sources of CO/CO2 streams according to their suitability for each of the chemical routes. Each route, be it chemical looping or catalytic cleaning, requires different auxiliary inputs and therefore could work under symbiosis schemes involving different partners. Users can manually select processes relevant to their business or policy objectives. Public and private sector users as well as researchers have particular needs. The tool is adaptable to all initial scoping situations. Selection and filtering capabilities help public sector users to investigate medium-term infrastructure needs and opportunities. By contrast, private sector users such as investors, project developers or industrial park managers can identify opportunities for by-product use, utility optimization and new, purpose-built symbiosis planning. Finally, researchers can develop early-stage scientific scenario analysis for technical and economic viability of multiple symbioses for regional resource efficiency. This can help to further investigate compatibility characteristics and formulate symbiosis specification guidelines. Simple and intuitive filtering options are prominent on the customization panel on the left of the screen as shown on Figure 2. Users have the option to manually select and deselect their preferred chemical route or to manually include or exclude individual industrial process types. Subsequently, then can decide whether to evaluate availability of CO or CO2 or both. In case of choosing manual selection of processes they can combine identifying for example only CO sources from one or very few relevant processes. The tool provides an interactive statistics panel underneath the selection buttons showing the total emissions resulting from the settings chosen both as aggregated as well as total from all relevant sites with combined CO/CO2 emissions.
