The city has many old and complex buildings that will require costly renovations. In order to support the energy transition and civic participation, the city has launched the RenoBooster project, as a follow-up to the ‘Smarter Together’ project (2016–2021), which was funded by the European Commission. The department for energy planning has built citizen initiatives into its strategy. The citizens of Vienna at the heart of the local energy transition Additionally, Vienna has created a grant to encourage the development of heat pumps. The pump will be installed in the water treatment plant before 2040. A large-scale heat pump will also cover 55% of district urban heating. In 2040, the city hopes to meet 56% of heat demand using geothermal energy. The first test, which is currently under way, aims to increase hydrogen production in a co-production plant.

The capital is running a series of tests.
Vienna will meet its energy needs with heat pumps, waste incineration, geothermal energy and green gas to cover peak demand. This will make it possible to decarbonise its housing stock and decrease its overall CO 2 emissions by 1.9 million tonnes. The city proposed a budget of 1.29 billion Euros to develop renewable energy and solar energy and to renovate its heating system. Until then, the capital is pooling knowledge and learning from best practices throughout Europe. To this end, it will be allocating a substantial budget of 1.29 billion Euros by 2027. Vienna is deploying renewable energies, renovating its heating system and mobilising civic participation in order to reduce and stabilise its carbon footprint at 60 million tonnes of CO 2 equivalent. In 2021, the capital of Austria published its Climate Roadmap which quantifies the work it must accomplish to decarbonise its business sectors. In light of the crisis in Ukraine, the city of Vienna has accelerated its energy transition to become climate neutral by 2040.
