Energy prices in Graz: Leoben projects set standards for the future!
Leoben, Österreich - Yesterday in Graz this year's Energy Globe Styria Awards 2025, and the event once again demonstrated impressive progress in the areas of energy, environment and climate protection. The price, which has been awarded for over 20 years, is enjoying great recognition both at regional and international level. This year, 18 of a total of 61 submitted projects were awarded. The event was opened by State Councilor Simone Schmiedtbauer, State Councilor Claudia Holzer, Werner Ressi from Energie Steiermark AG and Reinhard Hofer from the Styria Verkehrsverbund and ensured an atmosphere full of motivation and innovation.
A highlight of the evening was the awards for two projects from the Leoben district. Eckel Energy GmbH was able to accept the price in the "Society and Company" category. Your innovative energy roof, which aims at a neutral building supply technology, uses sun, air and rain for heat generation and stores excess energy in an ice storage. This silent and maintenance -free system is suitable for new buildings and old buildings and can generate hot water in summer and cool buildings. A real prime example of modern energy efficiency!
research and development in focus
The Montan University Leoben, which was awarded in the research section, was also successful. Your project "Fully Integrated Reversible Solid Oxide Cell System (First)" has the potential to decisively influence the sector coupling of the future. This new technology enables a change between electrolysis and fuel cell mode and shows how research and innovative ideas can contribute to solving energy issues.The Energy Globe Awards not only offer a platform for regional success. This year, projects from over 180 countries took part that present sustainable approaches to solve environmental problems. From resource conservation to improvement in air and water quality to energy efficiency- the topics are as diverse as their solutions. The categories range from "Earth" to "Youth" and even contain a new "sustainable start-up award".
energy efficiency as a key to a sustainable future
How important energy efficiency is in our time was also clear in many of the excellent projects. In view of climate change and resource shortage, it is crucial to optimize energy consumption and achieve the same performance with less energy. According to greenkama can be significantly reduced by energy efficiency; In theory, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40 percent worldwide.
technologies play a central role here. Intelligent systems for building automation, energy -efficient lighting and modern household appliances help to minimize energy consumption. At the same time, projects such as that of Eckel Energy GmbH show how innovative solutions can contribute to climate protection and at the same time offer economic advantages.
The Energy Globe Styria Award is an excellent example of the positive synergies that can arise from innovative projects and the cooperation of numerous actors. Whether companies, research institutions or individuals - all contribute their part to solve the challenges of our time.
