As part of the decarbonisation process – that is, the reduction of CO2 emissions during the production process – renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, wind power and photovoltaics, play a vital role.
During a guided tour in Donawitz, 54 visitors were able to see for themselves: The focus was on the heart of the power station, Unit 01 – one of the most modern and powerful industrial power stations in Austria.
The ‘Dual-Fuel Motor’ 1 and 2 emergency power systems were also showcased. These are marine engines, each with 12 cylinders and a displacement of 32 litres, which help to ensure security of supply in the event of a crisis. Another key focus was the power station control room, which demonstrates just how far digitalisation has already progressed in this sector.
In addition, a total of 150 visitors gathered information at the information stands run by our energy partners – Energie Steiermark, Verbund and Windheimat – and gained fascinating insights into the energy supply at the Donawitz site.
