Innovative data aggregation for decarbonized electricity systems
Electricity systems in Europe will be expanded and transformed in the coming decades to ensure that they are both stable and climate-neutral. Complex optimization models are being used to make the right decisions on the road to decarbonization. But there is a catch: models of realistic electricity systems are usually so large that even supercomputers […]
High temperature analysis in research focus
Recently, the new research project “Design-SOEC – Knowledge-based design of high-temperature electrolysis cells for optimized hydrogen production” started with the Chair of Physical Chemistry as consortium leader. Major challenges The increased use of renewable energies represents a decisive factor in achieving Austria’s and Europe’s climate targets and energy independence. The development of new technologies for […]
voestalpine greentec steel: groundbreaking ceremony for Austria’s largest climate protection program
greentec steel is the voestalpine Group’s ambitious and feasible phased plan for green steel production. In a first step, one electric arc furnace will be constructed at each of the Linz and Donawitz sites. Converting to this technology allows the steel and technology Group to reduce its emissions by around 30%, representing annual savings of […]
ANDRITZ carbon capture plant is now operating successfully at voestalpine
The pilot plant started operating at voestalpine’s steel mill in Linz, Austria, in the second quarter of this year. The plant separates carbon dioxide from the flue gases resulting from iron making using an amine-based process designed by ANDRITZ. The captured CO2 is filled into large industrial gas bottles and delivered to an Austrian energy […]
7.6 billion euros and 26,500 jobs: New highs for sales and employment
Growth and climate protection are not contradictory, even in times of an overall subdued economic situation. This is shown by the current economic survey of Green Tech Valley. “Technology companies were able to increase the green share of their sales nominally by 22 percent to a total of 7.6 billion euros. This is a new […]
Opportunity for Europe’s Microelectronics: The AT&S Lighthouse Project in Leoben
“Opportunity to position Europe in the fast lane” At the invitation of Chancellor Karl Nehammer, the “Microelectronics Summit” was held in July at the Federal Chancellery with the participation of members of the federal government and leading representatives of the microelectronics industry. Andreas Gerstenmayer, Chairman of the Management Board of AT&S, took part in the […]
