Circular economy – how to make the energy transition resource-efficient

 

80 tonnes: That's how much steel is needed to build a wind turbine. We need a lot of metals for the energy transition. It is therefore clear: We need to conserve raw materials through recycling for as long as possible and keep them in circulation. In the current podcast episode, we talk about how this works and why we need a resource-saving energy transition.
