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.
