Powering a Circular Renewable Energy Industry

What circular principles is the renewable energy industry adopting, and what’s next to ensure a renewable energy transition that doesn’t contribute to our growing waste crisis?

A thriving circular economy will rely on a stable supply of renewable energy. To achieve that ideal future without trading one environmental concern for another, renewable energy technologies must incorporate circular design, responsible sourcing practices and effective waste management. In this session, we will delve into the promising opportunities and potential obstacles for implementing a circular economy for energy materials such as those used for wind energy, solar photovoltaic and large-format batteries. This conversation will bridge the gap between research, policy and the role of industry, shedding light on the crucial role circular principles must play in shaping the future of energy.
