The Austrian Energy Agency provides answers for a climate-neutral future: the aim is to construct our lives and economies in a way that no longer impacts our climate. New technologies, efficiency, and the use of natural resources such as sun, water, wind, and forests are at the core of our solutions. This ensures for us and our children a life in an intact environment and preserves ecological diversity, without being dependent on coal, oil, natural gas, or nuclear power. This is the missionzero of the Austrian Energy Agency. Over 100 dedicated experts from a wide range of disciplines advise governments, businesses, administrations, and international organisations on a scientific basis. They support them in transforming the energy system and implementing measures to address the climate crisis. Furthermore, the Austrian Energy Agency executes the climate protection initiative klimaaktiv on behalf of the Federal Government. The Federal Government, all federal states, major companies in the energy industry and the transport sector, interest groups, and scientific organisations are members of this agency. The Austrian Energy Agency is organised as a non-profit association and has structured its thematic priorities into eleven centres. The Austrian Energy Agency (AEA) is a critical partner in the project, offering expertise in life cycle assessments, environmental and social sustainability, energy efficiency, and circular economy. As the work package leader of the ‘Sustainability and Circularity Assessment’ the AEA evaluates the environmental and social impacts of the laser-based additive manufacturing technologies. In close cooperation with the project partners, the AEA conducts a comparative life cycle assessment for the DED-LB and PBF-LB use cases, quantifying their environmental impact over the full life cycle. Furthermore, the AEA contributes a circularity assessment, evaluating recyclability, reusability, and end-of-life strategies to promote circular economy principles. In addition, the AEA aligns the project activities with the Sustainable Development Goals and conducts an analysis of the social aspects of the project. Lisa Friesling
