Energy saving guidelines
The energy saving guidelines drawn up by the federal government and the federal states for areas of application such as buildings, energy efficiency, energy management, mobility, procurement and financing are aimed at private households, private enterprise and the public sector. The guidelines are designed to motivate the respectivetarget group and provide information about how to increase energy efficiency. The guidelines thus contribute to creating awareness and changing user behaviour and act as a springboard for energy efficiency investments. The information on energy-efficient technologies, financing and procurement options together with special subject areas and pragmatic approaches to finding ways of…

Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation
This regulation establishes binding targets for the deployment of publicly accessible recharging and refueling infrastructure across the EU. It aims to ensure the development of a dense, interoperable, and user-friendly network to support the transition to zero-emission mobility. Starting from 2025, fast charging stations (≥150 kW) must be available every 60 km along the core TEN-T road network for passenger cars, with higher capacity requirements by 2030. For heavy-duty vehicles, charging hubs with a minimum total power output must be deployed every 120 km from 2025 and increase significantly by 2030. The regulation also sets targets…

Regulations on the efficient use of energy in buildings
The energy building code establishes technical requirements for constructing nearly zero-energy buildings, focusing on the thermal envelope, technical building systems, renewable energy sources, and e-mobility infrastructure. It sets energy efficiency indicators, including primary energy needs and renewable energy ratios, and mandates documentation like technical reports and energy performance certificates. Certain buildings, such as temporary structures, are exempt from these requirements.

Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles and Infrastructure (ENIN)
Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles and Infrastructure (ENIN) is a funding program initiated by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK). Its primary objective is to significantly increase the proportion of zero-emission commercial vehicles within Austria’s vehicle fleet. By transitioning from conventionally fossil-fueled commercial vehicles to zero-emission alternatives—such as electric vehicles, overhead line trucks, or hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles—while ensuring the exclusive use of renewable energy, the program aims to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
