Renewable energy
Burgenland is, economically, the less-developed region of Austria. To change this situation, a technology center was created in Güssing with EU furtherance. Most of the research projects in the region are related to renewable energy. The more significant demonstration projects include a 2 MW electric power 4,5 MW thermic wood gas generator power plant in Güssing and, in nearby Strem, a 0,5 MW electric power 0,5 MW thermic biomass gasification power plant for maize. The high concentration of alternative energy plants attracts visitors and has spawned a tourism industry with related facilities.External links
