Enabling the Vision of a Circular Economy –
summary
Steel mill waste heat now powers beer fermentation, an implemented reuse E.On facilitates; 800,000 PV roofs are already integrated into energy networks and smart grids use AI to forecast generation, storage and peak EV charging. Telefónica targets net‑CO2 neutrality by 2025, is switching off 3G, and claims 5G 90% more efficient than 4G while investing 17–18% of revenue in rollout. Regulators and past frequency auctions costing roughly €66 billion slow deployment and need predictable rules for long‑term infrastructure returns.
