IEA Wind Task 54: Wind Energy in Cold Climates (Working period 2025 - 2029)
In order to achieve the expansion targets for renewable energies, generation plants will increasingly have to be erected at locations with more demanding framework conditions in the future. For wind energy, this means planning and operating turbines under icing conditions in many countries. The task examines and evaluates technological solutions in this environment and publishes procedural recommendations in the form of technical reports and guidelines.
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.
Energy R&D 2024: Public Expenditures in Austria

Public expenditure on energy research amounted to €401 million in 2024, an increase of €90 million over the previous year. New RTI initiatives, IPCEI, research infrastructure and a good mix of open-ended and thematic formats contributed to this increase. The top topics were hydrogen and energy efficiency in industry.

Biomass Production in Sustainably Managed Landscape
13. December 2018
Online - Webinar, AT
Enabling bioenergy to play a key role in transforming the energy system will require a strong increase in the supply of biomass feedstock compared to today. This webinar will show how the integration of new biomass production systems into agriculture landscapes can provide bioenergy feedstock while simultaneously reducing current land use impacts.

SOFC4City - SOFC-waste heat utilization for buildings and industry
In this project the application of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for energy supply (heat and power) of urban areas will be investigated. Due to the high temperature level of the produced heat it would be possible to use this heat for the energy supply of different heat and power consumers (residential buildings, industrial plants, etc.). One aim is to provide the SOFC-heat at several temperature levels in order to establish the advantages of the fuel cell. On the one hand the legal and market-based conditions will be evaluated, on the other hand the technological feasibility will be scoured by the use of CFD-simulation of the heat production.

Energy Efficiency and Risk Management in Public Buildings (EnRiMa)
The major objective of the project EnRiMa was to develop an internet based decision-support system (DSS) to enable operators of public buildings to increase the system efficiency as well as to reduce the CO2 emissions. The DSS can be linked to existing energy management systems as DESIGOTM. The University of Applied Science Burgenland, Campus Pinkafeld, and ENERGYbase, Vienna, have been used to test and calibrate the EnRiMa DSS.
