Structure

BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH is a K1 Competence Center in the COMET program. Together with our national and international partners, we bundle scientific and industrial excellence to create the critical mass needed to perform successful research and apply the findings as marketable technologies and services.

As a link between academic research and industrial technology development, our vision is to develop and demonstrate sustainable and circular biorefinery processes and technologies for producing green gases, green liquid fuels, and green products, all of which will support the transition to a climate-neutral, zero-fossil-carbon economy. Consequently, the resource basis will be extended to include organic residues, wastes, and carbon dioxide. Conversion technologies will be enhanced or redesigned to ensure their efficient and economical operation, and to allow the value cycles based on new feedstocks to be integrated into the system. By using our excellent experimental facilities, ranging from lab to pilot and demonstration scale plants, our goal is to conduct applied research of the highest scientific quality.

We apply advanced digital methods for technology development, and for the basic automation, optimization, and monitoring of the operation of individual technologies and entire plants. With the help of holistic and technology-neutral planning tools, we ensure that biorefineries and energy supply technologies are optimally integrated into a sustainable, renewable energy system.

Organisational Structure

In order to solve the research tasks assigned to us in the best possible way, we organize our work in three research areas:

Area 1: Biorefineries
Area 2: Digital Methods and Solutions and
Area 3: Sustainable Supply and Value Cycles

The key focus and competences of the individual areas are described in more detail on the following pages.

The head office of the Competence Centre is located in Graz. Further locations are established in Vienna and Wieselburg. For special research tasks, two research sites are located in Vienna Simmering and in Tulln due to the proximity to key partners.
