Mödling, Austria
Mödling, a town with a population of nearly 25,000 people, is located 14 km South of Vienna. Mödling has committed itself to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in 2010 compared to 1990. The municipality is a member of the Climate Alliance which is dedicated to fighting global warming.
The CONCERTO approach
The project´s objective is to cut emissions by 11% a year through a combination of energy efficiency measures and installing renewable energy capacity. A key aspect is the use of combined heat and power (CHP): The residual heat of the power generation process is recovered and can be used for domestic hot water or for space heating or cooling of buildings.
In Mödling, two gasification of waste wood facilities are planned for thermal use and electricity generation. In combination with an integrated PV system built into an eco-built office facility, will substantially increase the supply of renewable energy.
