IEA Bioenergy Task 39: Biofuels to Decarbonize Transport (Working period 2022 - 2024)
The long-term goal of Task 39 is to drive decarbonisation in the transport sector using biogenic, sustainable, low-carbon fuels. This includes conventional and advanced biofuels that can be produced via different technological routes (oleochemical, biochemical, thermochemical and hybrid). In the 2022-2024 triennium, the focus was increasingly on long-haul transport, which is more difficult to electrify.

The key accomplishments of the task are summarized in the following points: New material characterizing methods were investigated, a new standard for an improved DSC measurement method has been developed, a data base for PCM, TCM and sorption materials was developed and established, advances in the numerical modelling of materials, compact thermal storage systems were developed for different material applications, a tool for the economic evaluation of thermal energy storages has been developed. Also numerous joint R&D Projects and more than twenty publications arose from the IEA-SHC Task 42 networking activity.
IEA PVPS Task 12: Photovoltaics Sustainability (working period 2018 - 2021)
The aim of IEA PVPS Task 12 is to foster international collaboration in the area of photovoltaics and environment. That includes compiling and disseminating accurate information on environment, health, safety, and other aspects of sustainability associated with the life-cycle of photovoltaics. Results are guidelines and data basis in order to harmonize LCAs and studies on future environmental impacts of PV and PV recycling. The Austrian contribution addresses LCA and implementation of sustainability aspects.
IEA PVPS Task 12: PV Environmental Health And Safety (working period 2016-2018)
The aim of IEA PVPS Task 12 is to foster international collaboration in the area of photovoltaics and environment. That includes compiling and disseminating accurate Information on environment, health, safety, and other aspects of sustainability associated with the life-cycle of photovoltaics. The austrian contribution addresses LCA, implementation of sustainability aspects and dissemination.
IEA Bioenergy Task 39: Biofuels to Decarbonize Transport (Working period 2025)
IEA Bioenergy Task 39 is a network of international experts that aims to drive forward the decarbonization of transport with the help of sustainable biofuels, with a focus on the long-distance transport sector (aviation, shipping, heavy duty vehicles), which is more difficult to electrify. The aim of the national work is to collect and analyze information on the global technological and political status of biofuels and thus contribute to the development of sustainable, socially and environmentally compatible biofuel systems.
Valuable (by-)products of gasification
19. - 20. October 2022
Living Hotel Kaiser Franz Joseph, Sieveringer Straße 4, 1190 Vienna, AT
The workshop will cover topics such as CHP (combined heat and power) / GHG (greenhouse gas) / synthesis products of gasification.
IEA PVPS Task 12: Photovoltaics (PV) Sustainability Activities (working period 2024 - 2027)
Photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy source that is an important technology for the energy transition. For this reason, or rather despite this, it is important to consider sustainability aspects in PV as well. End-of-life solutions in particular play an important role, as a strong increase in the number of end-of-life modules is expected in the coming years. Well-functioning recycling methods, repair possibilities or reuse options are of great importance. In this project, these existing methods and capacities in Austria are being researched and published in reports and workshops.
Bioenergy and Sustainable Development - Climate Change Mitigation and Opportunities for Sustainability Co-Benefits
23. - 24. May 2022
Online, AT
The aim of this e-Workshop is to provide practical information to qualify the contributions of bioenergy to climate change mitigation, highlight the opportunities and co-benefits of biomass supply chains (beyond energy provision) and open the prospects of stimulating such co-benefits and managing trade-offs.
