The CIRCOMOD project presents an in-depth exploration of recent research advances.
This session, co-organized by CMCC, will showcase work on global building modelling, machinery and equipment material flows, and the integration of circular-economy (CE) extensions into climate–economy models.

The webinar will illustrate how circular-economy measures can reshape material demand, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and inform future climate policy.

Featured Speakers & Presentations

• Peter Berrill, CML-Leiden University: Advances in Global Building Modelling for a Circular Economy

Peter will present updates on global building modelling in CIRCOMOD, focusing on how CE strategies impact material demand and greenhouse gas emissions within the global building sector.

• Meng Jiang, NTNU: Machinery & Equipment: The Second Most GHG-Intensive Material Use

Meng will provide an overview of historical and current material use and carbon footprints for machinery and equipment production. He will present progress in developing a baseline scenario for future material use and secondary material availability, combining IAM and input-output analysis through the EXIOFUTURES Framework.

• Leonidas Paroussos – E3M Integrating Circular Economy into CGE Models for Climate Policy

Leonidas will discuss new developments for incorporating materials and CE measures into applied CGE models, focusing on the GEM-E3 model. The talk covers modelling challenges and scenario results related to energy system decarbonization and the role of circular-economy measures.
