The Winter Run Graz was created to keep runners fit over the winter months. Competitors can put their form to the test over distances of 5 to 20 kilometres on three different dates.

Team Ceram Austria took part for the first time this year with 14 participants.

The start and finish point is the Grazer Stadtstrand. From here, the route leads over the Puchsteg, along the Murradweg, over Lagergasse and back onto the Murradweg. There is a turnaround at Auer Welsbach Gasse, from here the route follows the Gasrohrsteg, Murfelder Straße and again the Murradweg back to the starting point.

We congratulate our team on their successful participation and look forward to the next two dates on 26 January 2025 and 23 February 2025.

One of the challenges faced by catalysts is their sensitivity to sulphur compounds during oxidative catalysis. In order to actively address this, a project was developed together with the scientific partners DI Dr Christian Weiß (Chair of Process Engineering for Industrial Environmental Protection at the University of Leoben), Prof Dr Volker Kahlenberg (Institute of Mineralogy and Petrography at the University of Innsbruck) and DI Dr Roland Nilica, Head of Research & Development at Ceram Austria GmbH. Submitted to the Austrian Research Promotion Agency as part of a BRIDGE call for proposals, the funding approval was received in July of the same year.

The 3-year project has a total budget of around €750,000. Novel catalyst materials are being developed, characterised and tested as part of the project.

Christian Kögl, the new owner of the former Frauenthal porcelain factory, is revitalising the company with a considerable amount of investment and also wants to make the business greener.

The company has been “green” since 1985, when it entered the field of environmental technology with its current main product groups SCR catalytic converters and heat accumulators. However, further environmental technology milestones are to be achieved in the future and the company’s current research focus is on the utilisation of CO₂ using the carbon capture method.

During their visit to Ceram Austria GmbH, they not only presented the company and its contribution to environmental protection, but also discussed the challenges in difficult economic times.
