ASFINAG is an Austrian infrastructure company and is responsible for the Austrian motorway and motorway network with a route length of around 2,250 kilometres, which also includes more than 5,500 bridges. ASFINAG was founded in 1982 and is a federal company. To achieve its climate goals, ASFiNAG relies on "its own climate and environmental protection programme, which is built on the four cornerstones of mobility and energy strategy, circular economy and biodiversity.
The wind power generation project at the Europabrücke was created as part of the "Verbund X Accelerator", a programme founded in 2020 that aims to create innovation, long-term business relationships and address challenges of the future through collaboration between leading European companies and start-ups.

The pilot project initially includes 8 micro-wind turbines on the Europa Bridge, which were installed at a height of 140 metres above the ground. The turbines provide energy to cover the primary energy needs of the facilities at the Patsch toll station. The implementation of this project has several advantages: no additional infrastructure and no soil sealing are required. The necessary power lines are already in place along the motorway, and the wind turbines can be elegantly integrated into the pillars without disturbing neighbouring residents or residential areas. The installed wind turbine from MOWEA represents the first commercial wind turbine ever installed in Tyrol.

GERMAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE
With the aim of positioning German technologies and know-how worldwide, the German Energy Solutions Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) supports suppliers of climate-friendly energy solu-tions in opening up foreign markets. The focus lies on renewable energies, energy efficiency, smart grids and stor-age, as well as technologies such as power-to-gas and fuel cells. Aimed in particular at small and medium-sized enterprises, the German Energy Solutions Initiative supports participants through measures to prepare market entry as well as to prospect, develop and secure new markets.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS PROGRAMME (RES PROGRAMME)
With the RES programme, the Energy Export Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) helps German companies in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors enter new markets. Within the framework of the programme, reference plants are installed and marketed with the support of the German Ener-gy Agency (dena). Information and training activities help ensure a sustainable market entry and demonstrate the quality of climate-friendly technologies made in Germany.
