[en] Contains, among other kinds of energies, global data on expenditures, by public authorities, for research on (a) conventional, fission nuclear energy (b) breeding and fusion for the years 1977 to 1989 and more detailed account on the same topics for 1988 and 1989. (Quittner)

[en] The energy supply and the energy carriers for the years 1990 and 1991 are reported and analysed. At present about 41% of the energy demand are covered by renewable sources of energy

[en] The present share of renewable sources of energy of the energy supply in Carinthia and applications are described. The potential for renewable sources of energy is estimated. Also environmentally relevant topics of the use of renewable sources of energy are touched

[en] The government (state and federal) Energy RD and D Budget in Austria was 187.6 Mio AS (Austrian Shillings) in 1989 and 137.6 Mio AS in 1990 (estimated figures). The expenditures of the Austrian industry for Energy RD and D are estimated to be about 82 Mio AS for the year 1989 and 87 Mio AS for the year 1990. In particular expenditures for nuclear energy related research are listed. (Author, extended by Quittner) 7 figs., 37 tabs

[en] Ambient heat, used by heat pump technologies, is a domestic and renewable source of energy. The utilization of ambient heat corresponds to the goals of a future oriented energy policy: (1) the reduction of primary energy requirements and imports, especially oil, (2) the increased use of domestic renewable energies, (3) reduction of CO₂-emissions. The efficient use of heat pumps for space heating is determined by a number of criteria: low as possible supply temperatures of the heating system, appropriate designing and efficient control. In 1990, the number of heat pumps installed in Austria amounted to a total of about 96000 systems. The present contribution of heat pump technology to the energy supply amounts to about 950 GWh per year (December 1990). This amount corresponds to a saved quantity of oil of about 180000 tons per year. (author)

[en] The government (state and federal) energy RD and D budget in Austria was 137.6 million AS (Austrian Schillings) in 1990, 245.0 million AS in 1991, 210.7 million AS in 1992 and 286.9 million AS in 1993. The expenditures of the Austrian private industry for energy RD and D are estimated to be about 89 million AS for the year 1990, 122 million AS for the year 1991, about 98 million AS for the year 1992 and about 124 million AS for 1993. The energy RD and D budget of the Austrian Electricity Companies was 133.3 million AS for 1991 and 181.1 million AS for 1992. The energy research budget of the OeMV Aktiengesellschaft was 282.2 million AS in 1992 and 254.2 million AS in 1993. (author)

[en] Seasonal storage for solar energy have been the object of intensive theoretical studies and practical experiments. Within the frame of the research programme of the International Energy Agency 11 objects were set up and tested in practice. It was the aim of this research and demonstration projects to examine thermal long term storage for the use of solar energy and waste heat from industrial processes. In the following the actual state of the art of long term storage of solar energy for district heating in buildings will be described and possibilities of its use in Austria will be assessed.

[en] In the present edition the results of research in Austria from the year 1991 to the following topics will be described: energy research and energy policy, solar and heat pump technologies, photovoltaic systems in Austria, biomass heating systems, efficient energy technologies and system analysis. There are 35 contributions, only one of them is of INIS interest. (author, extended by Quittner)
