Motivated by several ongoing projects, we are organizing the “Linz District Heating Forum” on March 17–18, 2026, at Johannes Kepler University Linz. The first edition will focus on “Heat Highways”, large-scale heat storage, and industrial symbiosis for waste heat–to–district heating projects. The Forum aims to Transfer knowledge between applied research and district heating practice Foster […]

The ACTWELL research project („ACTive WELL-being through climate adaptation“) examines the impact of climate change adaptation measures, such as heat and flood protection, on the quality of life of different population groups. Using the innovative Adaptation Wedges Concept (AWC), we analyse which measures are particularly effective in strengthening resilience and well-being. In close collaboration with

Our colleagues Hannah Aster, Lukas Zeilerbauer, and Johannes Lindorfer have recently published a paper in “The Journal of Sustainability”. It is titled “Environmental Impacts of Drone Delivery: A Comparative Meta-Analysis and Standardised LCA Metrics” and examines the sustainability of drone-based logistics. As demand for low-emission delivery solutions grows, drones are often viewed as a promising

What does the energy infrastructure of the future look like? This central question was at the heart of the Forum Econogy 2025, held under the guiding theme “Solutions for the Energy Infrastructure of the Future.” The event brought together researchers, companies, and decision-makers to discuss innovative approaches and concrete pathways toward a sustainable energy future.

A stakeholder workshop on CCUS in industry was held at the Palais Niederösterreich in Vienna on 4 November as part of IEA IETS Task 21.The event was organised ahead of the Circular Carbon Economy Summit.More than 25 experts from industry, research and administration came together to exchange ideas. Topics covered included strategy and policy, ongoing

The INKOBA Sterngartl business park showcased itself as a best practice example of energy cooperation within industrial parks. It showed that, as well as enabling cost savings and security of supply, energy cooperation promotes sustainability and innovation through the shared use of resources. Joint energy solutions, such as shared heat supplies, photovoltaic systems, shared energy

The Forum Econogy is THE annual event of the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz. In 2025, we will once again provide insights into the energy research conducted by the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz as well as selected research topics of our cooperation partners. This year, we are focusing on solutions for the energy infrastructure

On Monday, 15 September, the kick-off meeting for the Future Heat Highway (FHHW) project was held on the JKU campus.A virtual kick-off meeting had already taken place before the summer, and the meeting in Linz followed this. Around 50 participants gathered to lay the foundation for the heat transition together. Future Heat Highway: sharing existing

Last week, our colleagues Stefan Puschnigg, Robert Müllehner, and Gregor Riha took part in the first physical project meeting of EISER in Karlstad, Sweden. The project is funded by the Climate and Energy Fund as well as the EU through CETPartnership. During the meeting, they presented the current progress of our work in the project
