Transform.Industry - Toward Carbon Neutrality in Austrian Industries

Activity: Talk or presentation / LecturePresentation at a conference / workshop for industry or public institution

Description

Domestic industry is a cornerstone of Austrian prosperity, as is an intact environment and a climate that is conducive to life. The Austrian government has committed for the country to become climate-neutral by 2040; this cannot happen without substantial efforts in all CO2-intensive areas. To preserve the industry and environment, a transformative approach is necessary. Within the present study we investigate the industrial landscape - and with maximum preservation of domestic value creation. It also discusses which of the many potential technologies are the most promising and are worth the investments from a macroeconomic perspective. To encompass a comprehensive solution space, four extreme scenarios were formulated and modelled. 17 key technologies and their individual applications were evaluated for all 13 industrial subsectors, with a macroeconomic analysis yielding holistic recommendations.
