As part of the Danube Indeet project, 12 partners from 10 countries developed policy recommendations for integrating water and e-mobility into the energy systems of the Danube region. These recommendations were successfully finalized through joint cooperation at the workshop in Alba Iulia.Based on sound findings, cross-border recommendations were developed at the joint workshop in Alba […]

In connection with a cross-border research project, we would like to request an offer from you for conducting a survey on the intelligent integration of renewable energy, the use of electric vehicles as mobile storage solutions, and electrolysis for the production of green hydrogen. This approach supports the sustainable introduction of electromobility in urban areas

On 27 November 2025, the Green Energy Lab hosted an event that impressively demonstrated the key role that research, innovation, and system integration play in the energy transition. Our colleagues Stefan Puschnigg and Gregor Riha attended the event and followed presentations on numerous key initiatives in the areas of sector coupling, heat utilization, and energy

On November 19 and 20, the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and LINZ AG invited project partners to Wels for the consortium meeting of the HeatRock research project. Representatives from industry and academia met to discuss the current project status, exchange results, and jointly plan the next steps. We from the Energy Institute at

The European project EVELIXIA, in which we collaborate with partners from across Europe, explores how this transformation can be achieved. The aim is to increase the energy flexibility of buildings through smart control systems, storage solutions, and the integration of different energy sectors. This is how real “Buildings as Active Utility Nodes” are created. From

On September 30, our colleague Manuela Halbartschlager took to the stage at the fall meeting of the Smart Grids Austria technology platform (TP SGA). Seated in front of her were experts from the energy industry, politics, and research—all of whom were preoccupied with the same question:How is digitization changing our energy world? In her presentation,

Sometimes it’s not only people who travel, but ideas as well.Our Energie.Frei.Raum project ReduzAb, led by our colleagues Marie-Theres Holzleitner-Senck, Michael Denk, Stefan Puschnigg, and Manuela Halbartschlager, embarked on a special journey — across Austria to Gleisdorf in Styria, to the MIA2025. Our presentation poster made this journey on our behalf — not merely to

Our colleagues Marie-Theres Holzleitner-Senck and Jovana Winkler were quoted as experts on energy and green gases in a recent article by Tips Zeitungs GmbH & Co KG. As part of the event “Green Gases – Green Future” organized by Business Upper Austria, they provided insights into the legal challenges and future developments associated with the

The HI2 Valley project promotes the development of a large-scale hydrogen (H₂) economy based on renewable energy sources in the Austrian industrial regions of Upper Austria, Styria, and Carinthia. The project is currently looking at the regulatory framework along the hydrogen value chain (Jovana Winkler) and perceptions of hydrogen, with the aim of deriving recommendations

Connecting district heating networks allows their heating plants to be used jointly, making supply more sustainable and cost-effective. Until now, there have been no connections between district heating supplies in different cities. Researchers at the Energieinstitut an der JKU have investigated whether connecting heating networks could lead to cost savings and positive environmental impacts. One
