Environmental Technologies in Austria This report will be the start of a series highlighting how Austria does it's part to ensure environmental conservation in the various fields that matter. Different sectors of environmental technology in Austria Austria has a broadly diversified environmental technology industry. The level of quality of innovations 'Made in Austria' are internationally sought after. These include: State-of-the-art solutions offered by the recycling industry. Revolutionary ideas to soften drinking water. Ultra lightweight vehicle concepts featuring extremely low CO©ü emissions. New materials for the construction industry. Austria takes this field extremely seriously. Furthermore,the government of Austria also has already laid out the groundwork for the future to ensure better results by 2020. Through the current report, I am introducing an innovative example of Waste Water management. Waste Water Management Sewerage and waste water treatment is important to maintain the natural balance of our ecosystem and protection of our water resources. Austria is leading in 'Cleantech' High degree of specialization in the fields of water management, air pollution control and recycling. A study carried out by ETH Zürich concludes that Austria has a high level of specialization in the field of Cleantech patents. Austrian industry boasts more environment related technology patent applications in the water and wastewater segments than the entire EU. Wastewater treatment is one of the most important economic factors in Austria¡¯s environmental technology business. One segment of the process is the sewage sludge treatment. A great example is a district in the town Straubing. The entire area is supplied with energy from wastewater! This is done through two heat pumps that derive energy from wastewater in the sewage system and feed two networks with it which can supply at least 100 housing units with heating energy and warm water. The system also includes a sewage sludge purification plant with a combined heat and power plant. The plant generates energy from the biogas it creates out of household wastewater, including sewage. Carbon is extracted from the wastewater and pumped into digesters kept at 38¡ÆC filled with bacteria. These produce biogas, mostly methane, that is then burned to make heat and electricity. Conclusion Clearly, Austria is doing its part to ensure the best and most environment friendly results in the water management field of environment conservation.
