Polygeneration of Fuels, Heat and Electricity from Wood (POLYWOOD)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Background
Traffic is responsible for 28% of greenhouse gases (GHG) in Austria and for exceeding the limits of particulate matter (PM10) and nitrous dioxide (NO2). Biomass has a low GHG load but to date it only represents a small share of vehicle fuels and biodiesel has yet to solve the NOx problems.

CO2-neutral E-Mobility for the reduction of air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5 und NO2) and noise in the European cities, for example Klagenfurt (CEMOBIL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Background
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are currently the main air pollutants in European cities. Many cities in the EU, including in Austria, are currently unable to meet the Union's limits for PM10 (40 μg/m³ annual mean value) and NO2 (40 μg/m3 as a mean annual value). In Austr ...

PM10 reduction by the application of liquid Calcium-Magnesium Acetate (CMA) in the Austrian and Italian cities Klagenfurt, Bruneck and Lienz (CMA+)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Background
Numerous studies have confirmed the correlation between the concentration of particulate matter (PM) with respiratory disease, heart/circulation disorders and premature death. It is not only fine and ultrafine particles, found in PM2.5, but also the coarse fraction found in PM10 that can cause negative health effects. This project focuses on re ...

Sound and Particle Absorbing System (SPAS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Dec 31, 2009,
Background
Fine-dust or particulate matter are able to penetrate deep into the lungs, triggering not only respiratory diseases but also damaging the cardiovascular system. Children and elderly people are particularly vulnerable.
Fine dust pollution is caused primarily by local road traffic, more specifically combustion-related diesel exhaust emissions on ...

Klagenfurt's Anti-PM 10 Action Programme in co-operation with Graz and the South-Tyrol (KAPA GS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2004, End date: Sep 30, 2007,
Background
Air pollution from high levels of particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental and health problem in many European cities. Raised levels of these tiny, solid particles in the air are linked to health hazards such as heart disease, breathing problems and lung cancer.
The European Commission estimates that the problem causes 300 000 early d ...
