Yet, raw materials required for the energy transition show high emissions intensities in mining and production. Producing secondary resources, in particular metals and critical raw materials (CRMs) like rare earth metals, from recycling End-of-Life (EoL) waste streams of PV panels, e-vehicles, and wind turbines (PEW) involves substantially less energy input than converting it from ore. With this background the aim of our project was 1) to quantify the potential of EoL waste streams of PEW, including the CRMs for recycling, 2) to project the future secondary resource potential assuming a decarbonising scenario of the Austrian economy, and 3) to assess the economic impacts from potential recycling loops using the macroeconomic model WIFO.DYNK. Results show that from an investor's point of view, recycling plants appear not profitable under the selected price assumptions. Introducing a minimum \"gate-fee\" for EoL waste streams can yet ensure the profitability and investments for recycling plants. From a macroeconomic perspective, recycling of EoL PEW devices generates value-added, employment as well as dividends in climate mitigation and resource or energy security.","onlinedate":"2023-02-01 00:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20230201","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[\"64956c3d-1cbb-4230-9d3c-837427e89564\"]","pdf":null,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"","journal":"","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":true,"embargo_date":null,"types":[215095],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[3711,3743,14305,14311,14315],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3711,\"personName\":\"Ina Meyer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3743,\"personName\":\"Mark Sommer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":14305,\"personName\":\"Silvia Scherhaufer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":14311,\"personName\":\"Florian Part\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":14315,\"personName\":\"Peter Beigl\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[40961],"host_publication_title":"Konferenzbeitrag \"41st Annual International Energy Workshop\"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
