The approach of "Clean Energy for Tourism" (CE4T) is the integrative, systemic optimization of the three central areas: power supply systems, electricity markets, and major consumers in the tourism industry.

The aim of the project was to advance decarbonization in ski resorts. On the one hand, this was achieved through the development and practical testing of optimization algorithms, associated interfaces, and an ICT framework for maximum energy efficiency. On the other hand, it was accomplished by utilizing all flexibility options and enhancing the integration of renewable energies.

On May 25, 2023 the NEFI-Team in Linz presents latest developments from NEFI project envIoTcast as part of automotive.2023, Austria's renowned conference for visions, innovations and future technologies in the field of modern mobility. In the NEFI project envIoTcast, the concept of a green foundry is being developed under the direction of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology.

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.
