ESG-Cockpit can automatically import data from Energy Data Hub for ESG reporting
At the WKO EDAY in May 2025, the first technical feasibility of the ESG Super Tool was presented. This data-driven service allows for the efficient management of the shared energy data space. The tool is being developed as part of the USEFLEDS project, to which akaryon is also contributing: The ESG Super Tool features an interface to akaryon’s ESG-Cockpit to automatically capture electricity and energy data from energy providers.
Outlook: Multi-stakeholder data management
Following the fundamental successes in data transfer automation in 2025, work in 2026 will focus on multi-tenancy capabilities to transfer data from multiple consumers into the ESG-Cockpit.
Combined with the results of other work packages—including the utilization of artificial intelligence—the “ESG Super Tool” is evolving into a solution for the faster and more comprehensive implementation of the European Green Deal.
The plan is to pilot the tool in Tyrol’s catering and hotel industry, with a gradual rollout to other sectors.
Trustworthy data handling is central
In a MIA Mission Innovation Austria Podcast, Anna Cossa from nexyo, a key expert in data sovereignty for the use of the ESG Super Tool, spoke with MIA editor Christian Spanik about the technical structures that enable a trustworthy data exchange with added value in the shared data space. A central principle, also implemented in the USEFLEDS project, is that data owners themselves determine with whom and whether they share their data.

USEFLEDS: Unleashing Sector-coupling Flexibility by means of an Enery Data Space
The USEFLEDS project, running from 2023 to 2027, was funded under the FFG Digital Technologies 2022 call. The coordinator is Forschung Burgenland GmbH, with 14 partners from research, education, and business, as well as major energy providers involved.
Among the partners is Alexander Steger with his Sustainable Development Agency. Together with akaryon GmbH, which specializes in sustainability and digitalization, and its ESG management tool ESG-Cockpit, he has worked over the past months on a technical prototype for data integration, the “ESG Super Tool.”
The technical framework infrastructure for this ESG Super Tool is provided by the tech startup nexyo, specializing in data ecosystems and sovereign data exchange, and the conversational AI platform Onlim.
A short introductory article on the USEFLEDS project in the akaryon blog is available here.
