Innovative direct current (DC) solutions can significantly contribute to the decarbonization and flexibilization of the industry. They simplify the system integration and coupling of renewable energies through the resource- and energy-efficient integration of electric machines, photovoltaic systems, battery storage, and electric mobility. The NEFI project Austrian DC Pilot Factory is dedicated to demonstrating a secure, flexible and scalable DC network in an industrial environment.

The NEFI Technology Talk introduces innovative DC solutions in the industry and serves as a platform for exchanging experiences with existing solutions and projects.

Under the motto "Progress by Innovation", the International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum will delve into key priorities, showcase solutions from around the world and highlight the action-oriented steps required to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.

The Austrian industry is facing enormous challenges: By 2040, it aims to achieve climate neutrality and complete decarbonisation. Hydrogen is often referred to as the key driver for this transformation.

Energy and climate change

On June 14^th and 15^th, 2023, Burgenland University of Applied Sciences will be hosting the international e·nova congress at the Pinkafeld campus. The three parallel, topic-specific lecture blocks are once again divided into the areas of energy, buildings and the environment.

NEFI focuses on the development and demonstration of key technologies ‘Made in Austria’ for the decarbonisation of the industrial energy system. The automotive sector is a pillar of the Austrian industrial landscape in which a high degree of process and product diversity certainly opens up hurdles in the development and implementation of decarbonisation technologies. As part of this Technology Talk, we are tackling this complexity by bringing together national and international players from the industry and jointly designing new developments and projects that will bring the sector closer to achieving climate targets.
