Analysis of country-specific baseline data for CO2 balancing

Overview

  • Description:

    The project aims to develop cross-border solutions for measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the Euregio Inntal region. Particular attention is being paid to raising awareness of CO₂ emissions and providing reliable data for effective sustainability measures.

  • Funding organization:

  • Duration:

    01.07.2024 - 30.06.2025

  • Project Members:

    • Prof. (FH) Dr. David Koch
      Head of Institute for Sustain & Estate, Professor (FH) for Real Estate Economics

Aim of the project

The aim of this project is to promote sustainability in the Inntal Euroregion by developing joint, cross-border solutions for recording and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The focus is on raising awareness of CO₂ emissions in the region and creating a sound data basis for targeted measures.

Desired outcomes

A key outcome of the project is the development and implementation of a software solution that enables companies to systematically record and assess their greenhouse gas emissions. This platform will be based on the analyzed data and tailored specifically to the needs of the cross-border region.

The role of the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol

The University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol plays a central role in the project. It concentrates on analyzing country-specific baseline data for CO₂ balancing, focusing on the following operational areas:

  • Mobility & transport: 
    Determination of CO₂ factors in connection with the use of motor vehicles.
  • Buildings & energy: 
    Analysis of energy consumption with regard to electrical and thermal energy.

In addition, the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol prepares relevant CO₂ factors for Germany and Austria and conducts a comprehensive potential analysis. The aim is to develop regionally adapted emission factors and to create a comparative cross-border analysis for the Euregio Inntal.
