Hydrogen Industrial Inland Valley
The HI2 Valley project aims to build a comprehensive renewable hydrogen economy in Austria’s industrial heartlands of Upper Austria, Styria, and Carinthia. By integrating green hydrogen across key sectors—particularly steel, chemical, and cement industries, as...
Technologieszenarien der Energietransformation
The TRENT project analyzes technological transformation paths and key energy technologies for Austria’s climate neutrality goals and derives areas of strength and infrastructure requirements from this. It examines the value and supply chains of domestic...
Interoperable Schnittstellenspezifikationen für Energiegemeinschaften
The ISEG project aims to improve collaboration within energy communities by developing a unified and interoperable interface specification. To achieve this, key reference processes are defined and recommendations for the legal framework are developed. In...
Saisonale Energiespeicher für Energiegemeinschaften
Energy communities enable new approaches to the collective generation, storage, and use of renewable energy, and are pioneers of the energy transition. As the expansion of renewable energies continues, seasonal energy storage-particularly in the form...
Supra-regional DH networks to enable the industrial waste heat integration today and in a decarbonized future
From 2050, all heat in district heating networks must come from renewables or waste heat (Energy Efficiency Directive Art. 26). District heating offers an excellent opportunity to use industrial waste heat and other low-temperature heat...
Cavern Thermal Energy Storage in Crystalline Rocks
District heating networks play a central role in the energy transition. Large-scale seasonal thermal energy storage systems will play a key role in the heat transition by storing summer energy or industrial waste heat for...
Possibilities of Establishing Green Propulsion Shipping Routes on Rivers and Seas
The Green-Pro project addresses the urgent challenges facing river and maritime shipping in meeting stringent emission reduction targets. Alternative fuels are emerging as a key solution, but a major obstacle is the inadequate development of...
How can a power grid be kept stable and secure when the electricity comes from numerous and naturally volatile sources?
In the FFG-funded POWERCAST project, RISC Software GmbH, the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz, LINZ NETZ GmbH, APG Austrian Power Grid AG and HAKOM Time Series are developing the basis for a stable and sustainable...
Blackout in Austria – What to do?
Yesterday evening, our scientific head of the Energy Economics department, Johannes Reichl, was on the ORF 2 programme ‘Thema’. It focused on how to ensure a secure supply in the context of the conflict between...

Austrian Symposium on CO₂ Conversion Technologies
The first ‘Austrian Symposium on CO₂ Conversion Technologies’ took place on 29 April as part of our joint project ZEUS (Zero Emissions throUgh Sectorcoupling). The event provided interesting insights into current activities to utilise CO₂...
Future Heat Highway project: launching the next phase of a sustainable heating system!
Following the successful project “𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆”, the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz is also coordinating the follow-up project “𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆” – with the clear aim of making tomorrow’s heat supply more sustainable, efficient and...
openLCA Conference Berlin
Our colleagues Hannah Aster and Lukas Zeilerbauer recently attended the second “openLCA.conf 2025” conference in Berlin. The first research results from our ZEUS project, which focuses on evaluating CCUs via life cycle analysis (LCA), were...
What might a sustainable transformation beyond traditional growth models look like?
This central question was addressed by our colleague Giulia Garzon in her presentation at the SCORAI conference in Lund, Sweden, on 8 April. The project aims to pave the way towards a sustainable, climate-neutral, fair...
SmartGreens 2025 – What does a future-proof regulatory framework for energy efficient data centres look like?
On 2 April, our colleague Michael Denk had the opportunity to give a presentation on ‘Digitalisation Meets Climate Protection: Legal Framework for Energy-Efficient Data Centres’ at the International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT...
