Project SuperP2G: Read the new publication now!
Publication alert! Together with the entire consortium of the completed ERA-Net project “SuperP2G”(www.superp2g.eu), we are pleased about the publication of our article in the Oxford Open Energy Journal on the challenges for power-to-gas in Europe...
Policy and governance of urban energy prosumption models – examining and co-visioning a social transformation process
UrbEnPro aims to contribute to a just and resilient transformation of the urban energy system. Currently a range of energy prosumption models (e. g. energy communities) is introduced into the European and national legal system...
Reduction of environmental impact and related recycling capabilities
In order to ensure a sustainable use of the worlds finite resources, it has become indispensable to consider principles of circularity for every newly developed technology or product. The project P4.3 ReCycle will apply those...
European Underground H2 STorAge Reference System
“The overall goal of the project is to demonstrate underground hydrogen storage in depleted porous natural gas reservoirs at TRL-8.The existing pilot plant in Rubensdorf (project USS-2030) will be further developed from TRL 6 to...
IEA IETS Task 15 Excess Heat Recovery
The overarching goal of Task XV is to initiate the concrete implementation of waste heat utilization projects in industry and to create the necessary framework conditions for this. This includes creating an international network and...
INNOnet project: Consortium meeting in Vienna
As part of the consortium meeting at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna, we had the opportunity to discuss open questions and further steps for the INNOnet project. In INNOnet, load-variable grid tariffs...
This was the 2024 Energy Law Conference
Our Energy Law Conference 2024 in cooperation with BEURLE Rechtsanwälte GmbH & Co KG and Metzler & Partner Rechtsanwälte was a day filled with stimulating discussions and insights into the latest trends and challenges in...
Invitation: Economics of Energy Storage
Energy storage is a key element in the technical and economic balancing of fluctuations in generation and demand. Especially in a future energy system based on renewable energies, energy storage will play an even more...
High-temperature heat pumps and sustainable steam generation
High-temperature heat pumps powered by renewable energy are the most climate-friendly option for industrial steam! The recently published article in pv magazine Global summarizes the results of the study “Life Cycle Assessment and Shadow Cost...
Demonstrating large thermal energy storages and improving their components, processes, and procedures for an accelerated realisation of 100% sustainable district heating networks in Europe
“In the heating sector, energy demand can fluctuate drastically over the course of the year depending on the climate conditions, with the peak demand occurring during the coldest months in winter. The availability of renewable...
Start of the Horizon Europe project EUH2STARS
We are very pleased to be an important part of the European consortium of the EUH2STARS research project, which will make Upper Austria the centre of seasonal storage of renewable energies (via hydrogen) in Europe!...
Invitation to the Energy Law Conference 2024
The design of energy law is of crucial importance for achieving our climate and energy policy goals. Particularly in times of rapid technological change and confrontation with multiple crisis situations, it is important to maintain...
Merry Christmas from the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the entire team at the Energieinstitut an der Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz. We look back on a year full of innovations and progress and thank our dedicated team...
How to cover peak heat loads in DH networks with renewables?
District heating networks are still relying too much on fossil fuels, although the acceleration of renewables is increasing. Today, many district heating networks already use climate-neutral alternatives like geothermal and solar thermal energy, biomass, heat...
