Abstract The widely heralded decarbonization of economies is a significant intervention in countries' societal metabolism, which eliminates the use fossil fuels but also requires renewing stocks such as buildings, vehicles, and power plants, turn materials energy. circular economy (CE) shifts country's metabolism toward less material demand, waste, emissions, moving away from linear resource flow pattern to one that narrows slows flows closes loops, order support climate protection. This article uses example Austria examine how CE interact transport, electricity sectors. We scenarios analyze contribution strategies achieve targets set by Austrian policy: (1) carbon neutrality 2040, (2) ambitious reductions consumption, (3) limiting annual land take. A scenario focusing on “decarbonization” alone reduces processed 7% compared reference scenario, associated with high risks: it large supplies green electricity, technology‐critical elements, smooth permitting procedures. “weak CE” shows little mitigating effects these risks. take are missed two scenarios.
