Abstract
Aim of the project was the development of a technology roadmap for solar thermal cooling in Austria involving the
relevant market players. The main contents of the technology roadmap are the compilation of the initial position in
terms of existing solar thermal cooling plants as well as relevant R&D results, identification of market potentials,
technology development and the necessary measures for it. The technology developments are described in short term,
medium term, and long term objectives as well as the connected market relevance for Austria and the economic
development of this technology. Scenarios for a useful interaction with other sustainable thermal cooling technologies
like cooling with district heating are analyzed to clarify the future position of solar thermal cooling in the Austrian
energy supply. The market player of this technology reach from component manufactures (solar thermal collector, ab-
/-adsorption chillers, ventilation systems, storages, control, etc.), business enterprises (hotels, breweries, laundries,
supermarkets, etc.), building developers and consultancy engineers to research institutions, energy agencies and
political decision makers. All of these groups were involved in the development of the technology roadmap by expert
workshops and interviews.
