With a view to the social role model effect of educational institutions, Graz University of Technology is pursuing an ambitious roadmap for achieving the climate targets - with very concrete measures, with substantial investments and with the assistance of all staff and students. With the programme Climate-Neutral TU Graz 2030 , TU Graz is one of the pioneers among Austria s universities and, based on current calculations, will invest around 11 million euros in this ambitious goal by 2030.

Cepton Lidars deployed in Austria

Cepton says this project will deliver real-world traffic data from complex urban and rural alpine intersections. Austria s mountainous landscape presents challenges in ensuring vehicle and pedestrian safety, where difficult traffic scenarios could pose obstacles for the deployment of autonomous mobility solutions. 

Tunnels to become CO2-neutral energy suppliers

A research association led by TU Graz is exploring the possibilities. view more  Credit: © BBT SE After completion in about ten years, the Brenner base tunnel is expected to provide relief for transit traffic between Italy and Austria. The Brenner Base Tunnel Company (BBT SE) and Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe (Innsbruck municipal works) now want to generate an additional benefit together with the Institute of Rock Mechanics and Tunnelling at Graz University of Technology and determine the geothermal potential of the tunnel, as Institute head Thomas Marcher explains: We are investigating whether and how drainage water from the Brenner base tunnel can be used for climate-friendly heating and cooling of houses or even entire neighbourhoods in Innsbruck.
