Working Party on Industrial Decarbonisation (WPID)
The aim of the Working Party on Industrial Decarbonisation WPID is to provide a platform with a focus on key aspects towards accelerating industrial decarbonisation. The initial focus area of the WPID will be on definitions related to what constitutes climate friendly production standards in heavy industry and how these standards can support successful decarbonisation policies. Thus WPID is working together with IEA members as well as relevant globale private and public stakeholder and supports the IEA office in reporting, benchmarking and foresight.
IEA Cross-sectional issues
There are technology-overlapping technology collaboration programmes and committees in the IEA.
IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs)
Austrian experts and companies are currently active in 23 out of 39 IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) and one expert group.
Working Party on Renewable Energy Technologies (REWP)
Central tasks of the Renewable Energy Working Party (REWP) are to support the IEA research programs, discuss current energy and technology policy issues among the IEA member states, advise the IEA Secretariat in Paris on issues related to R&D, technology and market introduction, and support the IEA in their outreach strategy.
Working Party on End-Use Technologies (EUWP)
The International Energy Agency (IEA) Working Party on Energy End-Use Technologies, often referred to as End-Use Working Party (EUWP), has been in the advisory council for the Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) in the area of end-use energy technologies since 1981. It also functions as reference for questions on end-use energy within the IEA Secretariat.

Model region for Smart Grids in Salzburg
To reach the objectives of the Austrian energy- and environmental policy the extension of electric vehicle network and an increase of the share of renewable energies at the energy supply to 34 % (today 15 %) until 2020 are necessary. For the integration of electric vehicles and a higher share of renewable energies, Smart Grids will become a key element for a future energy supply.
