Bridging Research and Policy on Circular Economy Pathways to Net-Zero
Reflections on how circular economy modelling research can better inform policy for the transition to net-zero.
CircEUlar showcased at the 2026 ECTP Conference in Brussels
INEGI presented a poster featuring the results of the application of the so-called Spatial Urban Energy and Materials Model (SUE2M) to the cities of Porto and Berlin, developed within the CircEUlar project.
Modelling to Policy: Circular Economy Pathways Towards Net-Zero
A dynamic afternoon exploring evidence-driven insights on climate mitigation contributions from circular economy strategies for construction – buildings, transport and energy infrastructure; services – housing and mobility; and system-wide enablers and impacts including digitalisation, behaviour change, and rebound effects.
CircEUlar Contributes to High-Level Discussion on Data Centres and Climate Action
On 23 April 2026, researchers from the CircEUlar project participated in the online closed-door workshop “The long-term global implications of data centres for climate action”, organised by Bruegel in collaboration with T6 Ecosystems.
Integrating energy, materials, and industry for climate and development goals
CircEUlar researchers Volker Krey, Alessio Mastrucci, Adriana Gomez Sanabria, and Dominik Wiedenhofer convened a high-level deep dive session at the International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum (IVECF) 2026.
Integrated methodology for modelling circularity in mobility and buildings applied in two EU cities: Porto and Berlin
This aimed at deepening the understanding of how the physical urban environment, socio-economic and behavioral drivers influence energy and material needs,
E-retrofitting Europe’s bus fleet can accelerate its electrification by 15 years
Overall, around 300 million tons of CO2e can be saved directly with this measure, which is comparable to the annual emissions of Spain.
Building Information Modelling for Circular Economy: What Adoption Reveals?
BIM could become a key digital enabler of circular economy principles if barriers to adoption are addressed through policy, skills development, and better incentives.
New Study Maps the Climate Impact of China’s Building Growth
An international study involving BOKU University now reveals how unevenly building growth has occurred over the past 20 years, and how this contributes to climate-damaging emissions.
From Data to Action: Policy Briefs Supporting Circular Pathways in Europe
T6 Ecosystems is coordinating a series of five policy briefs for CircEUlar that aims to connect circular-economy modelling with these strategic directions: stay tuned!
