Exploration Reallabor Weiz plus – Reallabor climate neutral region Weiz plus
In this exploratory study, the relevant questions for the potential establishment of a real laboratory in the Weizplus region, which aims to supply the region 100% with renewable energies by 2030, are to be clarified with the involvement of the regional innovation ecosystem.
The content-related technological focus of the activities of the future real laboratory is on all energy-relevant sectors (heating, electricity, cooling) applied to the focal points of energy efficiency and replacement of fossil energy in buildings, in commerce and industry as well as mobility – viewed integratively with the cross-sectional topics of “sector coupling”, “energy planning” and “agricultural and forestry energy production”. Technological innovations (system solutions) for companies are investigated and tested.
The aspect of joint and local financing of innovation and investment projects is addressed superordinately and explicitly as a key success factor for faster implementation of lighthouse projects of the energy transition.
The Reallabor promotes the opening of innovation processes and thus better networking of actors at different levels of action, stronger integration of end users and stakeholders, as well as co-creative processes for the development, testing and faster implementation of solutions. At the end of the exploratory project, a catalogue of services and an overall concept for the implementation phase of the Reallabor Weizplus will be available.
