KISeKoPo – Smart wastewater treatment plant: Activating sector coupling potential through digitization
KI:SeKoPo will create the basis for a multi-year national or even international research project by systematically evaluating the following points: The main innovation of KI:SeKoPo is the connection of water, energy and nutrients on a digital twin platform. In this way, the not yet realized sector coupling potential of the water-energy-nutrient nexus is made possible […]
UNIDO-ISA – STAR-C Preparatory Phase
The International Solar Alliance (ISA) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) signed a Joint Declaration (JD) for the Promotion of Solar Energy Globally on 19th March 2018. This reflects the joint interest and commitment to collaborate for the development of knowledge networks, provision of evidence-based advice to Member Countries and facilitation of south-south […]
FuelSOME – Multifuel SOFC system with Maritime Energy vectors
As a result, the maritime industry, which is a hard-to-decarbonize sector, is actively seeking for alternate solutions/technology which can make it more climate friendly but at the same time does not compromise on the current performance levels. Leveraging novel concepts as well as assets from former projects and initiatives, the project FuelSOME focuses on establishing […]
Green Ammonia Fuel – Ammonia from waste water for multi-fuel fuel cells
The overall project objective is to develop an efficient ammonia (recovery) process for the production of renewable, green ammonia fuel from wastewater, which meets the qualitative requirements of a SOFC fuel cell (suitable, high concentration and quality of the recovered NH3 gas) and can be used for industrial and mobility applications. By conducting experiments with […]
Build4Climate – Demonstration building with a climate room concept at the Innovation Quarter Lavanttal in Carinthia
Starting point and motivation On the Carinthian side of the Koralm railway tunnel near the Western tunnel portal, a future-oriented new quarter, the Innovation Quarter Lavanttal, is being built next to the new St. Paul train station in Lavanttal, with a CO2-neutral technology park. This unique opportunity is seized for the construction of future-oriented buildings […]
DIH Süd – Digital Innovation Hub Southern Austria
The DIH SÜD initiative was launched by institutions from the federal states of Styria, Carinthia, Burgenland and East Tyrol to provide the best possible support for SMEs in Austria’s southern region in the digital transformation taking place in the coming years. The cross-state and cross-industry consortium consists of five digital centers (JOANNEUM RESEARCH, Graz University […]
Green.Diversity.Linz – Post City Linz – biodiverse, climate fit mixed-use instead of sealed infrastructural wasteland
The closed mail distribution center next to the Linz train station is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation from an industrial wasteland with largely sealed soils to a mixed-use quarter with approx. 150,000 m² gross floor area. The plans emerged in 2019 from an open EU-wide architectural competition, which the Graz based office Nussmüller Architekten won. […]
Bim4WARD – Development of digital competencies in the field of building technology and simulation on the basis of BIM
The Green Deal introduced a new European growth strategy to the transition to a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy. The action plan includes measures to further decarbonize the energy system and decouple economic growth from resource use. Due to the high optimization potential of buildings, this is associated with increasing requirements in terms of sustainability, […]
PhaseOut – Heat pumping technologies for the renovation of existing buildings
In order to achieve climate protection targets and minimize dependency on energy imports, it is essential for Austria to switch from gas- and oil-based heating systems to a renewable energy supply, as well as to carry out energy refurbishment. Although solutions for the refurbishment of existing multi-storey residential buildings have existed for many years, the […]
IEA DHC TS5 – Integration of renewable energy sources into existing district heating and cooling systems (RES DHC).
The transition of DHC grids to RE technologies is at an early stage in most countries and utilities. In Subtask A, we will update the transition status for participating countries and identify existing examples of RE technology integration and applications for transition. In addition, we will review existing knowledge of RE technologies and applications, as […]
