Cornerstone – Combined technologies for water, energy and solute recovery from industrial process streams.

CORNERSTONE focuses on water, energy, and solute recovery, targeting end-users in the Steel-, Pulp and Paper-, and Chemical Industry. It is highly important rendering them circular to achieve climate neutrality goals at the EU level by 2050, and to enhancing their global competitiveness.

IEA IETS Task 19: Electrification in the industry

IEA IETS Task 19 deals with the electrification of industry by converting processes that were previously powered by fossil fuels. Electrification can lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions if electricity from renewable energies is used.

IEA Task 4 CND – Climate Neutral Districts

Cities are at the heart of the climate transition: practical tools, data-driven methods, and participatory processes are being developed to enable the successful planning and implementation of climate-neutral, integrated urban districts.

IEA EBC Annex 96 – Grid Integrated Control of Buildings

IEA EBC Annex 96 explores how buildings can actively contribute to grid stability, efficiency, and decarbonisation of future energy systems through intelligent digital control.

RESET – 100% Renewable Energy Living Lab

RESET is the lead project in the ENSET real-world laboratory for 100% renewable energy. The aim is to develop innovative solutions for rural areas.

INDUFLEX – Enabling industrial flexiblity through a modular DSM-Toolbox

INDUFLEX develops a modular toolbox to harness industrial flexibility for cost-effective demand side management, enhancing grid stability and supporting climate goals.

CircularityOptimizer – URBAN MENUS Circularity China: Resilient Circularity Optimizer for Urban Systems

CircularityOptimizer develops a digital planning tool for resilient, circular urban systems. The goal is to establish circularity through collaboration, innovation, and sustainable, circular urban planning.

HeatITup – Digital twin for cost-optimized operation of solar thermal plants

The project develops an open-source software for the automated analysis of operating data from large-scale solar thermal plants based on a digital twin.

NUCLEUS – Sustainable Urban Clusters for Climate-Neutral, Efficient, and Eco-Friendly Urban Development

The exploratory project NUCLEUS investigates how Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) can function as nuclei for positive urban development using a former industrial site in Graz as a case study.
