Abstract

When energy is considered, the circular economy seeks ways to reduce the environmental impact of energy systems by reducing energy use and waste generation. Design facets related to energy, especially energy selection and energy efficiency, are essential considerations in the circular economy and are described in this chapter. The descriptions are supported by background material on energy and its conversion. Then, energy use is discussed, and its impact on the environment is described. Efficiencies and other measures of merit for energy use are presented, and designs for energy selection and energy efficiency are described, highlighting energy-related design factors for the circular economy. For illustration, an example is presented.
