New business models for innovative energy service bundles for residential consumers
Despite the high energy savings potential in the EU, the market for ESCOs in the residential sector is much less developed than in other sectors (e.g. industry or public/services). In addition to cross-sectoral barriers (e.g....
GReen power and Energy Efficiency iNvestments community-Financed for fOOTball buildings
Sports buildings represent a massive untapped potential for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. However, accelerating the rate of sports building renovations requires innovative financing methods. The EU-funded GREENFOOT project will support this process by...
establishing Community Renewable Energy Webs
eCREW coordinates and supports the roll-out of an innovative scheme of household cooperation in energy management, addressing Community Renewable Energy Webs (CREWs), in which households jointly exploit household-level electricity generation and battery storage capacities and...
IEA SHC Task SHIP #3 – Solar Heat in Industrial Processes
The main objective of the task is to identify, verify and promote the role of SHIP plants (“Solar Heat in Industrial Processes”) as stand-alone systems and in integrated energy systems. Technical and non-technical barriers should...
IEA IETS Annex 19 Industrielle Elektrifizierung
Industrial electrification can make a major contribution to CO2 reduction. Annex goal is a knowledge transfer between the international and the state level. At national level, stakeholder involvement is aimed at clarifying the topic of...
Fully Integrated Reversible Solid oxide cell sysTem
In FIRST, a fully integrated reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) system is being developed and tested in a living lab environment. The system can switch between water electrolysis and fuel cell operation on demand, resulting...
IEA DHC „Fernwärme und –Kälte inclusive Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung”
Hybrid energy networks, i.e. the integration of electricity, heat and gas networks, can make a decisive contribution to optimizing the energy system. The IEA DHC Annex TS3 analyzes the potential and challenges of hybrid energy...
Industrial Microgrids
As part of this project, technical, economic and legal framework conditions are mapped within an energy exchange platform, which is implemented and validated in 3 industrial energy communities with different focal points. The project will...
GmundenHighTLinkRD
The Gmunden cement plant has a waste heat potential of 10 MWth at 400°C. For this reason, the approach of using heat all year round is being pursued. The aim of the present project is...
REsidual soft WOod conversion to high characteristics drop-in bioFUELs
REWOFUEL aims to convert residual wood into bio-isobutene (bio-IBN) through fermentation, and then convert bio-IBN into advanced, drop-in biofuels and co-products. The process will be scaled up to TRL6-7 and produce renewable and sustainable alternatives...
Nutzung tiefer Geothermie in industriellen Prozessen
An approach for the substitution of fossil fuels in the supply of low-temperature processes is geothermal energy. The geological conditions for this would be available in Upper Austria. Geothermal heat is available 24/7 and should...
OPTimized conversion of residual wheat straw to bioISObutene for bio based CHEMicals
The goal of OPTISOCHEM is to demonstrate the performance, reliability and environmental as well as socio-economic sustainability of the entire value chain from the conversion of surplus straw into bio-isobutene to two final chemical product...
CO2-based Electrosynthesis of ethylene oXIDE
CO2EXIDE aims to convert bio-based carbon dioxide into industrially relevant chemicals using an electrochemical process. This process can use excess energy and can be applied in decentralized locations. The reactions are energy and resource efficient...
Commercial flagship plant for bioethanol production involving a bio-based value chain built on lignocellulosic feedstock
The main goal of the EU-funded project LIGNOFLAG is the construction of a first-of-its-kind commercial scale plant for the production of cellulosic ethanol from agricultural residues based on the innovative sunliquid® technology. The new flagship...
Regulatory Framework for a Renewable Energy System – Begleitforschung „Energie.Frei.Raum”
In the Energy.Free.Room program of the Austrian Climate Ministry, R&D projects are approved that will/can use the newly established regulatory sandbox provision in the electricity and gas sectors for the first time, as well as...
