The ‘Guideline to Market’ offers strategies for market launch. The results support companies and politicians in establishing SHIP as an efficient and scalable technology.

IEA ISGAN Communication Working Group

The ISGAN Communications Working Group prepares results, best practices, and insights from the TCP ISGAN in various communication formats. This includes interactive workshops with internal and external stakeholders, webinars, and policy papers presented at the Clean Energy Ministerials. In addition, the ISGAN Knowledge Tool was developed, which will be further enhanced in the follow-up project.

Energy Policies of IEA Countries - Austria -- 2007 Review

Since the last review in 2002, Austrian energy policy has seen many positive developments. Today, Austria counts among the IEA member countries with the highest share of renewable energy supply, thus increasing energy security and reducing CO2 emissions. Great progress has also been made in the utilisation of biomass for heat and electricity production. Nevertheless, many challenges remain. Englisch
