climate protection plan for Gleisdorf – Preparation of a climate protection plan for the municipality of Gleisdorf

The climate protection plan shapes climate protection principles and goals (vision and mission) for the municipality of Gleisdorf.

Based on a comprehensive status survey, scenarios and an action plan for the phase-out of fossil fuels by 2030 (focus) and 2040 (outlook) respectively are developed with a focus on space heating, electricity, mobility and process heat sectors.

SRI2MARKET – Paving the way for the adoption of the SRI into national regulation and market

The SRI2MARKET project will improve the knowledge and capabilities of six EU-Member States (Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Protugal and Spain) with regards to the introduction of the SRI in their national regulation and market.

circPLAST-mr – Mechanical recycling of plastics: from waste plastics to high-quality, specification-compliant recyclates

A total of 25 renowned partners from business and science are working together in the lead project to optimise the recycling process and ultimately avoid plastic waste in the environment.

SRI AUSTRIA – Analytical support of the SRI test phase in Austria

Continuation of research activities in the analysis of methods and Indicators to support the introduction of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) in Austria and the scientific support of an Austrian test phase

iWaterCheck – Method for identifying water-related optimisation measures in SMEs as a basis for standardised water audits

New audit method helps save water.
In the iWaterCheck project, AEE INTEC, together with the ACR institutes KMU Forschung Austria and V-Research, is developing a simple and efficient audit method that enables SMEs to reduce their water consumption.

BioProfit – Profitable valorisation of biogas fermentation residues through CO2 storage and nutrient recovery

Valuable fertiliser and humus from biogas digestate. In the “BioProfit” research project, the ACR institutes GET, AEE INTEC, LVA, ZFE and IWI have set themselves the goal of developing a process to profitably use the fermentation residues from biogas plants, which until now have had to be disposed of at high cost.

COHORIS – Continuous enzymatic hydrolysis in oscillatory flow as process intensification strategy for biorefineries

COHORIS shall result in a comprehensive understanding of the (positive) rheological effects and its correlation on the enzymatic mechanisms, such as on enzyme-substrate binding or product inhibition throughout the course of enzymatic conversion. On engineering level optimal oscillatory operating windows will be determined for enabling continuous mode processes at ideal mixing patterns and thus minimal energy requirement. The deep process understanding shall be based on cellulose hydrolysis and further investigated on applications such as protein hydrolysis in order to achieve a scaleable and reliable technology design for intensification of a variety of biorefining operations.

IEA Bioenergy Task 40 – Deployment of biobased value chains Triennium 2022-2025

In the IEA Bioenergy TCP Task40, the goal is to support the development of sustainable, efficient and profitable biobased value chains and their respective system services and value creation in the context of

• sustainable, regional, national and international markets (incl. trade)
• a reflection on political developments and economic aspects, e.g. CO₂ markets and financing; and
• long-term climate and sustainability requirements.
• zu unterstützen.

HighCon – High-performance concrete for underground large-scale thermal energy storages

Hot water-optimised high-performance concrete to increase the economic efficiency and stability of underground large-scale thermal energy storages

DESIRED – Direct co-processing of CO2 and water to sustainable multicarbon energy products in a novel photocatalytic reactor

The aim of the project is to develop a reactor with optimized catalyst and rheology, for the efficient photocatalytic production of carbon-rich (C2+) energy products from CO2 and water.
