Circular economy in the energy industry

Summary

The subject introduces the principles of the circular economy, which can be implemented in the energy management sector, both during their production and also used, especially on the side of energy-intensive economic sectors. Basic tools for finding a balance between sustainable production and energy consumption are presented. Methods of energy production from renewable sources are discussed, including the perspective of their further development. Part of the subject is the presentation of the legislative framework, which is related to the circular economy, again especially in relation to energy.
