Abstract
For the first time, quantitative evidence has been obtained of the relationship between circular economy statistics and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the energy sector. The developed approach makes it possible to find "hot spots of emissions" and visualize problem areas that impede the reduction of GHG. Correlation coefficients for GHG emissions/production, transmission, and distribution of electricity, and circular economy factors were calculated in accordance with this approach. It has been established that the disposal of construction and demolition waste is one of the main issues for EU countries, whereas municipal waste reuse and material reuse in energy production rank fairly well in 18 of the 27 EU countries.
