As EU climate policy tightens, its Green Deal increasingly shapes Swiss energy and emissions through shared infrastructure – long-standing hydropower integration, electricity lines and gas pipelines –, Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) linkage and EU-wide clean fuel and CO2 regulations. Weiterlesen

Solid-state batteries are a new generation of lithium-ion batteries that do not require liquid components and combine many of these properties. An international research consortium, including the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, or Empa, is working on the development of anode-free solid-state batteries in combination with thin-film technology. Potential application areas include the industrial Internet of Things sector, with additional potential uses in mobile areas such as drones, robotics, and aerospace.

Un groupe de travail représentatif est désormais parvenu à un consensus à l’échelle nationale sur cette question controversée: un assouplissement des exigences vis-à-vis de la protection RI sur le réseau basse tension est prévu. Cela permettra une réalisation plus simple et plus économique, notamment des projets PV de moyenne ampleur. Weiterlesen

Dans quelle mesure les villes se présentent-elles comme fortes dans le domaine de l’énergie? Quelles solutions adoptent-elles pour la protection du climat et pour un système énergétique durable? Où se situent-elles sur la voie de l’objectif zéro net en 2050? Energeiaplus a posé la question à sept villes suisses. Les quatre premières se trouvent dans la première partie de cet article et voici les trois suivantes francophones et italophones. Conclusion: les villes sont très actives dans le domaine des énergies renouvelables, des systèmes de chauffage alternatifs ou de la mobilité électrique. Weiterlesen

In many cases, technical systems are used today for these adsorption processes that are oversized for their task. This consumes unnecessarily high amounts of adsorption materials, investment resources and energy. To avoid this, a team of researchers from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts has developed a model and an associated guideline. They help process engineers to better design the appropriate dimensions of gas purification and gas recovery plants in proportion with requirements. The scientists estimate the potential energy savings at 25 to 30 percent.

Um 1850 wurde die Kohle zum zentralen Energieträger der Industriegesellschaft. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Kohle dann durch das Erdöl abgelöst. Weiterlesen

However, the heat from deeper layers of the earth is hardly used: If one were to drill 1000 m and deeper, one would come across an enormous heat reservoir that can be used for heating purposes, industrial processes and electricity production.

In response to this challenge, the SFOE research programme on Industrial Processes dedicates one million Swiss Francs to a competitive call for application-oriented research proposals in the area of industrial energy efficiency. Expecting that successful projects will deliver publicly assessable results with the potential to generate significant positive impacts. Weiterlesen

Switzerland, together with the International Hydropower Association (IHA), the World Bank, Norway and other IRENA member countries, co-organized the Ministerial Plenary Session. It built on the first ever IRENA Hydropower Event, which was initiated by Switzerland and took place at the 9th GA in January 2019. Weiterlesen
