Media reports on the project

Renewable wastewater energy reduces dependence on natural gas

The energy transition, in particular the phase-out of natural gas, has taken on a new urgency due to the war in Ukraine and the tense relationship between West and East. Quickly available, renewable and politically less volatile energy sources are in demand - the technology is already available in Austria, now it is time to roll it out as quickly as possible. Energy generation from waste water, for example, is said to have great potential...
