About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG is demonstrating an innovative steam-generating heat pump system using natural refrigerants at its Vienna production site to replace natural gas for industrial heat processes. The project, in partnership with AIT, was commissioned in September 2025 and aims for up to 80% CO2 reduction or around 1,600 tons CO2 per year at the site. Evidence: "This corresponds to a potential CO₂ reduction of approx. 80% and means a saving of around 1600 tons of CO₂ per year at one of Takeda's largest pharmaceutical production sites at Lange Allee 24 in Vienna." — https://www.nefi.at/en/project/ahead
