Vienna starts out of gas: advice for climate -friendly heating!

Amerlingstraße 11, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Vienna faces an ambitious goal: the city should become climate -neutral by 2040. An essential step in this way is the program "Get out of gas", which has attracted attention since MeinDzirk beyond the city boundaries. The program promotes the switch to environmentally friendly energies and offers interested residents a low -threshold advice on the gas exit.

In May 2025, a pilot project called "Raus out of gas locally" was launched at Amerlingstrasse 11 in Mariahilf, which targeted the heating change and thermal renovation. This point of contact offers personal consultations in which citizens can clarify questions about the conversion of fossil heating systems to renewable energies. Already 75 first contacts at the advice center testify to the interest of the population, especially since about 60 of these inquiries come from the Mariahilf district.

The weekly consultation hours in which experts from the area supervision urban renewal and Keufung Vienna are available are particularly in demand. Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky has underlined the relevance of individual advice on technical and financial aspects. He is convinced that well -founded information is essential to make it easier for citizens to switch. Vice Mayor Kathrin Gaál is also aware of the importance of citizen participation at the heat transition.

The advice center's offer not only includes personal conversations, but also various formats and walks to district heating projects and information evenings in local restaurants, where the topic of environmentally friendly heat supply is deepened. These measures help to raise awareness of the population for the need to switch and at the same time arouse interest in sustainable heating systems.

The pioneer area Gumpendorfer Straße

A central aspect of the climate -friendly heating transition in Vienna is the district heating area Gumpendorfer Strasse. Here Vienna Energie has already started the nationwide expansion. According to Wohnberatung Vienna , the construction work has started in the first phase between the grain market and the house of the sea. The municipality strives to enable heating water and cooking without CO2 emissions through these measures in 2040.

In order to achieve the ambitious climate goals, a redesign of heat supply is essential. According to Engie Germany plays a key role, since it is gained from high-speed and renewable energies. This not only ensures effective energy supply, but also a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. For example, CO2 emissions in Germany could be reduced by at least 55 % by 2030 by such a change.

Overall, the changeover to renewable energy sources in Vienna is a question of the future. If you want to find out more about the possibilities of exit from gas, you can visit the advice center at Amerlingstrasse 11 Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Free advice dates can be booked online here, and a new online assistant offers support for the gas exit.

The next steps are clearly on the table: Vienna is working with combined forces to be climate -neutral by 2040. Every personal contribution counts. The advisory services are a good start to start a more environmentally friendly future.
