IEA IETS Task 17: Membrane processes in biorefineries (Working period 2024 - 2025)
Membrane technologies in biorefineries are essential for industrial development in order to enable the transition to a bio-based industry. Biomass as a raw material requires efficient processes. The IEA IETS Task XVII (24-26) project promotes the transfer of know-how between research, industry and membrane manufacturers for resource-efficient applications. The national task strengthens the Austrian research landscape through networking activities.
IEA-IETS Annex 15: Industrial Excess Heat Recover (Phase 2)
In the framework of IEA IETS Annex 15 potentials of excess heat and technologies for their integration were collected from national research projects, bundled and elaborated on. This way, a broad knowledge base was built on experience gained in carrying out surveys for potential use of excess heat. Experiences with questionnaires, process integration tools and extrapolation of data using existing knowledge about the respective energy systems were exchanged. A process database with detailed process information could also be established, which can be used for further research activities. Also, in the area of policy instruments, recommendations for future measures to increase the use of surplus heat were derived on the basis of national contributions.

The main objective of the proposed Task is to study how to achieve the optimal integration of distributed generation, energy storages and flexible demand, and thus increase the value of distributed generation and demand response and decrease problems caused by intermittent distributed generation (mainly based on RES) in the physical electricity systems and at the electricity market. The Task deals with distributed energy resources both at local (distribution network and customer) level and at transmission system level where large wind farms are connected.
IEA IETS Task 23: Drivers and Barriers for the Transformation of Industrial Energy, Technologies and Systems (Working period 2024 - 2025)
The successful reduction of industrial greenhouse gas emissions requires the integration of a wide range of competencies. In addition to technical barriers, there are also organizational, regulatory, societal and financial barriers. The new Task 23 addresses the need for collaboration and system thinking to overcome non-technical barriers. The technical work in ongoing tasks should be supplemented by this task, which should provide added value in overcoming non-technical hurdles.
IEA IETS Task 22: Climate Resilience and Energy Adaptation in Industry under Uncertainty (working period 2024 - 2026)
The main objective of this task is to promote understanding and progress in digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), and related technologies in order to enable climate resilience (extreme weather and events) and energy adaptation (electricity, heating, and sector coupling) in energy-intensive industries. Specifically, the challenges of energy flexibility and demand response will be identified by means of surveys of Austrian stakeholders and the results presented nationally in a workshop format.
IEA EBC Annex 55: Reliability of Energy Efficient Building Retrofitting - Probability Assessment of Performance & Cost (RAP-RETRO)
The scope of the project is to develop and provide decision support data and tools for energy retrofitting measures. The tools will be based on probabilistic methodologies for prediction of energy use, life cycle cost and functional performance. The impact of uncertainty on the performance and costs will be considered. Methods based on probability give powerful tools that can provide us with reliable ranges for the outcome.
IEA HPT Annex 63: Impact of heat pump placement on noise emissions
Noise emissions from heat pumps are a potential barrier for broad market diffusion of this energy efficiency technology, especially in urban areas. In this project, the influences of noise emissions in the building and in the neighbourhood are characterised, their psychoacoustic effects are analysed in more detail, and tools for digitally supporting heat pump placement are further developed. The results will be presented to relevant target groups in the form of guidelines and other documentation.
IEA EBC Annex 70: Building Energy Epidemiology: Analysis of Real Building Energy Use at Scale
Within the framework of the IEA-EBC Annex 70, causes of deviations between calculated and actual energy consumption in buildings were empirically investigated and requirements for data quality, characteristics and security were developed. Furthermore, recommendations were developed regarding the use of internationally uniform standards and methods for data collection, processing and evaluation.
IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of Biobased Value-Chains (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
IEA Bioenergy Task 40 traditionally focused on international trade and supply chains of biomass for bioenergy. Starting in 2018, the systems view was broadened, also to better meet Austrian requirements. The supply chain focus was maintained, but with a broader premise: The establishment of bio-based value chains for a sustainable and fair bioeconomy.

IEA-DHC Annex TS2: Implementation of Low Temperature District Heating Systems
The potential of alternative heat sources is highest at low system temperatures, but current district heating networks are usually high-temperature systems. The aim of the IEA DHC Annex TS2 is to support the transformation of district heating networks towards lower temperatures (the so-called 4th generation). For this purpose, Annex TS2 forms an international platform that enables an exchange on the topics of technology, system, demonstration and competitiveness.
