The study introduces an open-source framework that systematically replaces coal, oil, and gas inputs with renewable alternatives, synthetic fuels, and electrified systems in supply chain models.
An innovative online resource designed to support circular economy practitioners across various sectors, particularly those working in buildings, mobility, and manufacturing.
This framework combines a comprehensive spatial analysis with machine learning techniques to inform urban planning practice regarding the influence of urban drivers.
Our CircEUlar partner UOXF delivered a talk on “Broader Impacts of Digitalisation on Decarbonisation Pathways”, formed part of the project’s work, exploring how digitalisation can drive low-carbon transitions, while also considering its own environmental footprint and ways to mitigate these impacts.
A new report from TU Berlin, PIK, NTNU and BOKU reveals the composition and location of Europe’s massive material stock in buildings, transport infrastructure and vehicles across the EU27, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK.
As global resource use and emissions keep rising, the circular economy (CE) is gaining traction as a strategy for avoiding waste and reducing virgin raw material demand, thereby potentially also mitigating energy demand and GHG emissions.
The event was not only an opportunity to review progress and share research, but also to hold stakeholder workshops connecting the project team with external experts and policy actors.
The results from CircEUlar will provide valuable insights to inform European Union circular economy policies, linking to material flows and strategies for slowing, narrowing, and closing material loops. One instrument of particular interest to the consortium is EPR.
Jakob Napiontek presented the latest developments of EUBUCCO, a comprehensive expansion of the existing building database the EUBUCCO buildings dataset as part of the CircEUlar project
