Heat pumps will play an essential role in the decarbonization of industrial processes. Steam-generating heat pumps, which generate steam from waste heat, are of particular interest because they can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. This Technology Talk offers an overview of the technology, how it works and possible uses, as well as current insights into ongoing projects.  

The domestic manufacturing industry emitted about 28 million tonnes of CO₂e into the atmosphere in 2021 and is thus responsible for more than one third of the total emissions in Austria. In their current study, the experts of the NEFI innovation network have developed three scenarios that provide important impulses for a climate-neutral future of Austrian industry.

Despite numerous efforts to promote and address the issue, the proportion of women in technical professions remains low. On the International Women’s Day, the NEFI Innovation Network will bring successful female technicians to the stage. They are NEFI project managers or are pushing the decarbonisation of industry with their know-how and expertise.

The Future of Energy MARKETS in Europe against the Background of New Geopolitical Imbalances

The 13th International Energy Economics Conference at the TU Vienna (IEWT 2023) will focus on the recent disruptions of the European energy system, the associated market dislocations and necessary regulatory interventions, as well as on the current questions triggered by them on how we can maintain the originally envisaged long-term paths of decarbonisation and transformation of the energy system.
