Energy Lunch #62: Climate-neutral industry

Approximately one-third of emissions in Austria are caused by the industry. The decarbonization of the industry is therefore a crucial component for the successful implementation of the energy transition. Industrial enterprises face significant challenges, including the rapid expansion of renewable energy production, a massive increase in energy efficiency, the conversion of production processes, investments in new facilities, and simultaneously maintaining and strengthening competitiveness.

Within the flagship region NEFI – New Energy for Industry and the research project FossilFree4Industry, paths to decarbonisation of the industry are outlined, and concrete demonstration projects are implemented.

Leading industrial companies such as voestalpine or MAGNA, which have already set specific decarbonization goals, aligned their transformation strategies accordingly, and actively implemented them, demonstrate how successful decarbonization can be achieved in practice.

During the event, strategies for the industry's transition away from fossil energy supply will be presented and illustrated with best-practice examples. The subsequent panel discussion will address current issues related to this topic.
