5 The Güssing Model is the strategy of a decentralized local energy production with the existing renewable resources of a region! The Goal: to get independent from fossil energy in order to strengthen the regional added value! This strategy can be adapted individually wherever resources are available.

6 Milestones in Güssing 1990 Energy saving measures 1992 Building of small district heating plants in villages around Güssing 1996 Building of a district heating plant 1996 Foundation of EEE 2001 Building of the Güssing Biomass power plant 2004 Building of a Biogas plant in Strem (7km from Güssing) 2008 Building of a Bio SNG demonstration plant and building of an institute of technology (R&D in the fields of synth. Fuels)
