FIT4Urban Mission
Nine cities, Austria's pioneers, are setting out together to become climate-neutral. The Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) supports these nine cities in building up knowledge about climate neutrality and in improving and developing strategies for implementation measures through a targeted funding scheme.
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.
Mission
Until the mid 1970‘s energy supply policy was a side issue for the industrialized nations: all the energy services needed could be provided with the fossil sources of energy available in the market.The oil crisis in October 1973 was a turning-point in national and international energy policies – for the first time the extent of dependence on the oil-exporting countries was revealed, and the security of the supply of energy in future seemed to be in jeopardy.
Mission
Energy Systems of Tomorrow
"Energy Systems of Tomorrow" focuses on the development of new technologies and concepts for a flexible and efficient energy system based on renewable energy sources.
The way to a European climate union
The wide field of climate protection is one of the political priorities of the European Union. The aim is to limit the negative impacts of climate change and stop emitting more emissions than can be offset by 2050 - and thus to become a climate-neutral continent.

The accompanying process of the FIT4UrbanMission
To face the diverse challenges of climate change together, the available and functional solutions must be made accessible to everyone. Therefore, Austria relies on a joint approach.
IEA Cross-sectional issues
There are technology-overlapping technology collaboration programmes and committees in the IEA.
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.

Climate-neutral cities and communities
Nine Austrian cities are currently working on their FIT4UrbanMission projects. In the city portraits, they reveal which focus they want to set in terms of climate neutrality for their city and what special challenges they are facing.
Smart Grids Week - Graz 2014
Mission: Climate Neutral City
With the mission "Climate Neutral City", the BMK has set a focus that will enable Austrian cities and municipalities to implement the climate & energy targets. Comprehensive research activities and accompanying measures act as "enablers" to make the path towards climate neutrality visible, to develop demonstrate it.
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.
Smart Cities Network Austria
The Smart Cities Network Austria aims to strengthen this approach and supports and connects those pioneer cities with a strong commitment to smart city concept implementation and future-oriented climate change adaptation.
