Keytopic 2: Building the Energy Transition: New Energy for Industry, Integrated Heat and Smart Energy Systems in Practice
Business Upper Austria, a business location agency for Upper Austria, will present NEFI – New Energy for Industry, one of Europe’s leading defossilisation initiatives driving the transformation towards climate-neutral industry through innovation and large-scale demonstration.
The Future Heat Highway (FHHW) project, developed within the NEFI, presented by the Energy Institute at JKU Linz, demonstrates how cross-company heat integration and intelligent energy systems can unlock significant efficiency and decarbonization potential. From an industry perspective, LAT Nitrogen, a Partner in the Future Heat Highway, will share hands-on experience from project development, including challenges and perspectives, and their broader decarbonization strategy.
The session highlights how collaboration between research, industry, and regional ecosystems enables scalable, real-world solutions for a climate-neutral built and industrial environment.
