Assessment of Potential and Promotion of New Generation of Renewable Technologies ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1997 The first automatic wood pellet boilers were produced and sold in Upper Austria, being the first of their kind in Europe and worldwide. The O.Oe. Energiesparverband, the regional energy agency, analysed the first 70 plants which were in operation in order to support a market introduction process which is not slowed down by too many faulty installations and by too much lack of information. Based on these analyses, training seminars for plumbers were developed (with more than 100 persons trained in 2 years). Furthermore, administrative barriers were tackled by involving the boiler manufacturers. Fire safety regulation represented another challenge. Fire authorities had to be convinced of this new technology. Information campaigns for end consumers were implemented to increase acceptance and awareness. 1,500 systems were installed in the region. This was a very dynamic development, especially taking into consideration that this was not a low-cost consumer good but a rather high cost investment where buyers need to be convinced that the systems will operate for 15 years and more. Also, in general, in a country with a colder climate like Austria, the decision about the heating system is a very important one for any homeowner. The Oekoenergie-Cluster (OEC), the network of green energy businesses was set up by the regional government to support the market development of the emerging renewable energy industry, charging the O.Oe. Energiesparverband with the management of the cluster. The OEC supported the companies’ first export activities outside German speaking countries Several ALTENER/Intelligent Energy Europe projects allowed for an international exchange of experience on the development of pellet heating markets and also supported the development of information and training materials. For example, the so-called Propellets project helped to kick-start pellet heating markets also for non-domestic buildings. These projects allowed other regions in Europe to learn from the experiences developed in Upper Austria and other pioneer regions but also helped the pioneer regions in taking the next steps in market development, thereby speeding up the market development. Intelligent Energy Europe and the Innova programme also support the exchange between sustainable energy clusters, thereby strengthening the support infrastructure for business development Period of strongest growth in Upper Austria. Pellet boiler manufacturing companies doubled and trebled their outputs and had to cope with the challenges of fast growth (keeping in mind that these are family-owned businesses). 2000 2001-2002 2002- today 2004-2006 2007 Setback of the pellet sector in Austria due to a very short period of significantly increased pellet prices with the related negative publicity. Some manufacturers suffered a decrease in sales of up to 70 % in this year (compared to 2006 and 2008). 2008, 2009 Two pellet campaigns were organised by O.Oe. Energiesparverband with financial support from the regional government in 2008 and in 2009 were carried out. The pellet campaigns included a billboard campaign, publications, media activities and a pellet award (www.pelletskampagne.info). These campaigns were aimed at restoring market confidence.
