Der OÖ Energiesparverband, Konsortialmitglied des NEFI Innovationsverbundes, feiert heuer seinen 30. Geburtstag. Aus diesem Anlass fand im Rahmen der internationalen Tagung World Sustainable Energy Days am 23. Juni eine Festveranstaltung unter dem Motto “30 Jahre Energiezukunft” statt. Der Event blickte in die letzten 30 Jahre zurück, wagte aber auch einen Ausblick 30 Jahre voraus.

Europe is aiming for a 55% reduction of CO₂ emissions by 2030 as a milestone on its way to climate neutrality by 2050. It is crucial that the investment decisions made in the next few years put us on the path to being “fit for 55” by the end of this decade. With the motto “Boosting economic recovery with the energy transition”, the World Sustainable Energy Days 2021 (WSED) presented how we can make a green recovery happen in practice and how renewable energy and energy efficiency can contribute as an investment engine.

NEFI research project SANBA developed three scenarios towards an innovative, sustainable energy system for the 40-hectare large area of the Martinek-barracks.

New ideas require innovative solution formats, therefore the NEFI – Innovation Network started the format of ‚Open Cycle‘ (OC). The format aims to find suitable industrial use cases and demonstrate their system integration. They will be intensively discussed and refined in expert panels in cooperation with industry partners before they continue their successful run in a “project cycle” at one of our partner companies.

Experts discuss technological and systemic solutions for the transformation of the industrial energy system
