New power for the energy market TechTransfer ETH Zurich During her doctoral studies, Liliane Ableitner developed a trading and billing tool for energy communities. Three years on, she is CEO of a flourishing start-up with 20 employees. Can Switzerland transition to a secure renewables-based energy system? Absolutely! Politics ETH Zurich Gabriela Hug – an expert in power transmission networks – argues that securing an affordable energy supply from renewable sources is not a utopian ideal for Switzerland, but rather a practical and feasible necessity. A contested resource Research ETH Zurich The expansion of hydropower generation often leads to conflicts of interest, both in Switzerland and beyond. Researchers from ETH Zurich are trying to find a basis for compromise that serves the public interest. Swiss energy system could be independent and carbon-neutral by 2050 Politics EPFL Researchers from EPFL and HES-SO Valais have modeled the Swiss energy system under the hypothetical constraints of carbon neutrality and energy independence by 2050. The results show that these two constraints could be met while reducing energy system costs by about 30% compared to 2020. Energy security in a climate-neutral Switzerland is possible Research ETH Zurich Security of energy supply in a fossil-free Switzerland is feasible and affordable according to a new white paper from an expert group at the Energy Science Center. It will require increased production of renewables and efficient energy trading with neighbouring countries. Countries would be well advised to assist each other with regard to gas Research ETH Zurich If European countries collaborate, they can avoid severe energy scarcity due to a gas shortage. This is the finding of a new study by ETH Zurich researchers. Previous 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15... Next Page 11 of 31
