The International Energy Agency’s IETS technology programme is all about industrial energy technologies and systems, focusing on research and technology development for more efficient energy use in industrial production.The international partnership is driving forward research i. a. into integrating renewable energy sources, using industrial waste heat, biorefineries, separation processes and industrial carbon capture and storage. The programme supports collaboration between the industry-relevant research disciplines and promotes networking within industrial sectors and for cross-sectional technologies as well as the transfer of information and knowledge amongst experts from industry, science and technology policy.

Industrial waste heat utilisation
This project is pursuing a multidisciplinary approach to the integrated use of industrial waste heat and is geared towards optimising energy efficiency on a global scale with the aim of fine-tuning and (further) developing energy- and cost-efficient technologies. Austrian participation enables national stakeholders to engage in partnerships at international level and offer their expertise in industrial energy-relevant technologies and systems all over the world.

Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Related Technologies for Energy Efficiency and GHG Emissions Reduction in Industry
Efforts to further develop and use digitalisation, artificial intelligence and related technologies are intended to improve the economic and environmental performance of energy- and greenhouse-gas-intensive industries. Amongst other things, the project is focusing on helping to implement digital twins in industry by establishing the necessary foundations and framework conditions.

Industrial electrification
Electrifying industrial processes can make a major contribution to reducing CO2emissions if the electricity is supplied from renewable sources. At the same time, switching to electricity as the energy carrier can improve both economic and energy efficiency. The project aims to promote knowledge transfer between international and Austrian stakeholders and analyse existing technologies, programmes, roadmaps and measures.
