Upper Austria
Projects
In Upper Austria, the most industrialised of Austria’s 9 regions, over 30 % of the primary energy demand is already supplied by renewables – more than twice the EU average. Over 2 billion Euro are invested in the clean energy transition by businesses, citizens and the public sector each year - smart investments in a sustainable future!
Upper Austria holds a leading position in the smart use of bioenergy. 15 % of primary energy comes from sustainable biomass, 35 % of all dwellings are heated with clean biomass and there are over 6,000 jobs in the biomass heating industry.
The energy contracting model allows for investments in energy efficiency and in renewable energy without high upfront investment costs from the building owner. A specialised company plans, builds and finances the energy efficiency measures while guaranteeing the project’s success.
“Smart Flex” is a smart price product for heat pumps. Thanks to daily information about the price, it can heat itself at a very low cost.
The Eberstalzell community is a Demo-region for methods to handle more electricity with existing grids. The motivation is an upcoming number of photovoltaic panels, electric heating as well as cooling and electric vehicles.
The project is a digital product to show how consumers can share self-produced pho-tovoltaic energy with family and friends.
This project deals with the production and retention of petroleum gas in reservoirs through a microbiological process.
The aim is to convert the Austrian economy to a CO2-neutral structure with an energy system based on hydrogen. WIVA deals with the three sectors of green energy, industry and mobility.
The aim of BioREg is to establish a decentralised and material flexible biogenic waste refinery. It should be able to handle any biogenic waste and the construction should be profitable in any size.
Smart Villages is the intelligent digital transformation of communities in the Alpine region. Various solutions like a digital platform or a toolbox should make it possible for people to stay in the Alpine regions and find jobs there.
The project deals with the digital transformation of the Upper Austrian government authority. A new application is the app “Mein OÖ” (“My Upper Austria”).
The problem for commuters is that public transport runs at specific stops and these stops need to be reached by car in the countryside. To solve this problem, this project deals with an attractive Micro-offer for public transport to manage first and last mile problems.
A combined park and rental station for E-Bikes and E-Cars, first of its kind in the world, is now in use in the residential field. Equipment such as theft-proof boxes, parcel compartments or a charge column for E-Cars is provided by Safetydock.
As an alternative to the car, Freistadt offers covered parking spaces for bikes and four safetydock boxes for secure, comfortable bike parking and for rent-an-E-cargo-bike.
Based on the Open Source Software SUMO a traffic simulation software was created to get a picture of real-time traffic state.
Fully autonomous driving gets possible with modern technology based on artificial intelligence. The tool is a neuronal network called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) which makes decisions based on camera pictures, combined with “memories” from the past.
The project explores digital solutions for optimizing personnel development and identifying employee qualification strategies.
For the four tourist resorts around Lake Traunsee, the topic of accessibility is an important issue. Therefore, a group of people from different groups of interest was created. Now various projects have already been realised.
The 4D-Joystick is an innovative award-winning system which enables people with disabilities to pilot remotely controlled, non-trivial toys with their mouth.
Munderfing uses the “Systemic Consensus” model when it needs to come to fast decisions. Therefore, the no-arguments are collected and furthermore the interests of the public can be considered in an optimal way.
The Agenda 21 implements concrete projects together with citizens. Therefore a network in Upper Austria is created.
Food coops are non-profit organisations which offer an infrastructure for the procurement and distribution of sustainable products in the region. The products are regional/biological and come from local farmers, market gardens, apiaries, etc.
The output is a digital platform where informal competences, reached through voluntary work, are listed.
This project deals with solutions to facilitate the use of digital devices by people with disabilities. It is done by building blocks with flexible and adaptable AT functions.
The PEAKapp is a mobile application especially developed to sensitize consumers to energy consumption. Moreover, it offers incentives to save energy.
Easy Reading is a software tool to support the cognitive accessibility of web contents. This enables people with cognitive disabilities to read, understand and use the web in a better way
Within the project Re-FREAM (Re-Thinking of Fashion in Research and Artist collaborating development for Urban Manufacturing) new production methods as well as materials and technologies for the fashion of the future will be developed.
NEFI – New Energy for Industry shows pathways for the DECARBONISATION of manufacturing and energy-intensive industry by technology ‘Made in Austria’. NEFI is an innovation network of science, technology providers and companies.
Through this project, a modern “Future Workspace” is created where people can work in a renewable environment. It will be a node point in Kremsmünster where various models will be tested.
Through this project, among other things, a platform should be created to find the ide-al industrial partner for an energy community.
The LIT Factory at the Linz Institute of Technology (LIT) located at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz is a networked pilot plant for education, learning and researching smart polymer processing, recycling and digital transformation.
