Battery storage power plant: Giant batteries for Carinthia

Largest battery storage plant goes online There is currently nothing comparable. The large-scale battery in Austria’s southernmost province, which Tesla says “reliably and safely stores energy for the grid, making the use of peak-load gas-fired power plants unnecessary and helping to avoid power outages,” is the largest to date. PIADENO® has invested just under 2 […]

3D printed concrete put to the test by TU Graz

CO2 in construction reduced by more than half. The concrete produced by 3D printing is particularly environmentally friendly. Replacing conventionally processed concrete in the fabrication of a reinforced concrete ceiling, at the points where it is structurally feasible, saves around half of the normal CO2 emissions. It is a greater challenge, however, to use integrated […]

Breaking new ground: Graz researchers developing ammonia propulsion

The LEC company is conducting research into a sustainable alternative for fuelling large engines and has commissioned a research facility for ammonia fuel on the Graz University of Technology campus. Using electricity from solar and wind power, this will be produced in a CO2-neutral manner and could revolutionise shipping, including saving 5% of CO2 emissions worldwide.

Concrete from CO2: Greenhouse gas as a raw material

To counteract global warming, industry is also being asked to minimise its CO2 emissions. But it doesn’t stop there. Thanks to new technologies, in the future, greenhouse gases will also be filtered out of the air and recycled. Once separated out, the gas has many uses including production of chemicals, fuels and building materials. In […]

Austria as Hydrogen VIP: EU approval for 4 large-scale H2 projects

Green hydrogen – the game changer Green hydrogen is an important building block on the path to climate neutrality. Which is why the EU is pushing production of green H2 and has approved the IPCEI Hy2Tech. The aim of the project is to establish a European hydrogen value chain that is innovative, competitive and sustainable. […]
