Combined transport as a sustainable alternative to the road transport aims to carry goods in transit primarily on railways and waterways. The extension of combined transport leads to more road safety and less heavy traffic on the road network. The program ...
AustriaThe Austrian Climate and Energy Fund aims at supporting Austria's innovative technological developments in industry and research which both in a short- and a medium-term perspective interconnect already initiated developments, complement them and enf ...
AustriaGrowing needs in mobility and the simultaneous decrease of resources and their limited capacities require new solutions in policy in terms of research, innovation and technology. The previous programme 'IV2Splus' has already been successful in i ...
AustriaATUASOR In road-based transport sector there is a great dependency on fossil resources. Due to the awareness in terms of CO2 emissions, fine dust, scarce oil reserves and volatile oil prices in recent years, there is the need to search for alternatives. I ...
AustriaAlgenwasserstoff The project deals with the production and processing of renewable hydrogen from algae. The algae absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce biomass in the first step and hydrogen in the second step. The hydrogen can be used as a high quality ...
AustriaOxidiesel Caused by the fix blending rates of the European Union, biofuels become more and more important. Currently, the biogenic components in diesel fuel are mainly covered by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). However, the EU 2020 targets regarding diese ...
AustriaABEFerm For the purpose of achieving the Kyoto targets, various national and European initiatives and regulations have been set up to replace fossil fuels by biofuels. In addition to biodiesel and ethanol, butanol is another possible biofuel that can be u ...
AustriaOxy-Gen2 One of the causes of inefficiency, the diesel engine is the backbone of road mobility for people and goods. Therefore, it is a priority to identify sustainable alternative fuels with no usage restriction. Within the project, the selection and eva ...
AustriaAs a result of increasing global integration and societal mobility, the international aeronautics industry is experiencing dynamic growth. It is one of the most sophisticated sectors with a strong influence on other industry and service sectors and air tr ...
AustriaNExBTL and FT-Diesel The potential of two alternative Diesel fuels, NExBTL from NesteOil® and Fischer-Tropsch- Diesel from “Biomassekraftwerk Güssing”, was investigated during the engine operation, concerning the reduction of exhaust emissions in the cour ...
AustriaS4HEV The development of future vehicle powertrains must ensure compliance with the increasingly stringent emissions legislation and achieve improvements in sustainability- in particular a significant reduction of CO2 emissions. Lower CO2 emissions in sho ...
AustriaDuraPEM Fuel cell technology represents a clean and efficient energy conversion with high energy density and range. So far, however, this pioneering technology could not penetrate the market and compete with conventional internal combustion engines in the ...
AustriaHigh FAME The demand for higher blending rates of biogenic fuels in the international market takes them into focus more and more. Currently, the biogenic components in diesel fuel are covered mainly by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). When using these biof ...
AustriaBioFlame Future emissions from maritime traffic will be limited by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) III regulation, which means further reductions of nitric oxide and soot emissions. Therefore, large gas engines become a genuine alternative t ...
AustriaHIEFF – Fuels & Oil In order to comply with future CO2 targets for passenger cars with gasoline engines, engines with reduced displacement in combination with direct injection and turbocharging were pushed in recent years. This engine downsizing allow ...
AustriaINFONETZ provides information, networking and communication opportunities around the projects in the field of transport and mobility funded by the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT). Funding programmes covered are IV2Splus a ...
AustriaAt the beginning of 2014, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) started a broad stakeholder consultation process in order to set up a new strategy for research, technology and innovation in the field of aeronautics ...
