Austrian energy storage projects

Does Austria have a market for energy storage technologies?

A study 1 carried out by the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, AEE INTEC, BEST and ENFOS presents the market development of energy storage technologies in Austria for the first time.

Is Austria a good place to invest in energy storage?

Austria has already gained major technological expertise in the field of electricity and heat storage. Numerous Austrian companies (including mechanical engineering, assembling and engineering as well as research and development) are already working on solutions for energy storage.

What are energy storage systems?

Efficient and reliable energy storage systems are central building blocks for an integrated energy system based 100% on renewable energy sources.

Can energy storage systems be used in practical operations?

Innovative storage technologies and new fields of application for the use of energy storage systems are being researched and demonstrated in practical operations as part of national and international research and development activities.

What are the different types of energy storage systems?

Electrical, thermal and chemical storage systems are key tech-nologies for an energy system based on decentralised energy supplies from fluctuating sources, such as wind and solar power.

Can lignin be used for energy storage?

Austrian energy supplier Burgerland Energie has started building a 300 MWh storage project based on the “Organic SolidFlow” technology developed by Germany-based specialist CMBlu. The system is based on high-performance organic energy storage molecules. The material used is lignin, which can be sourced as a by-product from pulp mills.
