IEA IETS Task 21: Decarbonizing industrial systems in a circular economy framework (working period 2025 - 2027)
Energy and CO2 savings through CCUS, and resource and energy efficiency through industrial symbiosis are key approaches to decarbonizing industry. The subtasks “Carbon Dioxide Capture in Industry” and “Facilitation of Industrial Symbiosis” of the IEA IETS Task 21 deal with CO2 management, legal requirements for CCUS, new value chains and associated stakeholders, technological integration in industry, tools to enable industrial symbiosis and a non-technical assessment of the status of cooperation.
IEA IETS Task 23: Drivers and Barriers for the Transformation of Industrial Energy, Technologies and Systems (Working period 2024 - 2025)
The successful reduction of industrial greenhouse gas emissions requires the integration of a wide range of competencies. In addition to technical barriers, there are also organizational, regulatory, societal and financial barriers. The new Task 23 addresses the need for collaboration and system thinking to overcome non-technical barriers. The technical work in ongoing tasks should be supplemented by this task, which should provide added value in overcoming non-technical hurdles.
IEA ISGAN Annex 3: Benefit/Cost Analyses and Tools of Smart Grids
Together with experts from 11 countries, the EI-JKU has analysed cost-benefit models and developed proposals for their adaptation and further development.
