Cogeneration in Austria
by Hermann Haselbacher
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 7, No. 3/4, 1995

Abstract: Cogeneration is practiced in Austria, as in other European countries, to maximise fossil fuel utilization in district heating and industrial processes. Its use began relatively early, but it has become more widely used only since the late 1950s. District heating received an additional impetus in the 1970s, but its expansion has since slowed down somewhat. In 1992 approximately 3500 GWh of heat were produced in district heating cogeneration plants. It is expected that in the near future existing systems will further expand. The construction of new ones is less likely, although there is considerable long-term potential. Process heat cogeneration has a relatively long tradition, but statistical data are very scarce. It is estimated that roughly 7000 GWh of cogenerated process heat were produced in 1992. Although it is said that there are plans to build new plants, it is uncertain when and to what extent such projects will be realized in the future.
