Abstract

"HIGHLIGHTS- Climate Change Mitigation: Circular Economy strategies in four key industries can double the greenhouse gas emission reduction by 2050, compared to relying solely on decarbonisation efforts, saving 189-231 Mt CO2-eq. per year- Reduced Fossil Energy Demand: EU fossil energy carrier demand can reduce by 6%- Higher Economic Security: The EU’s trade balance can be improved by up to EUR 35 billion annually, through reduced imports.- Significant Decoupling Effect: Greenhouse gas emissions can decrease 9 to 26 times more than the reduction in the gross value added of the energy-intensive sectors"
