Energy is produced, consumed, and influences the environment - all of these phases are researched at the PSI Center for Energy and Environmental Sciences.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Ein umfassendes Energiesystemmodell für die Schweiz
Energiesysteme stehen vor komplexen, langfristigen Herausforderungen, die mit einem hohen Mass an Unsicherheit behaftet sind. Das STEM-Energiesystemmodell der Gruppe Energiewirtschaft am PSI ist zu einem wichtigen Instrument geworden, um diese Herausforderungen zu erforschen und die Entscheidungsfindung zu unterstützen.
Neues Verfahren für stabile und langlebige Festkörperbatterien
PSI-Forschende haben ein neuartiges Verfahren entwickelt, das Festkörperbatterien widerstandsfähiger und langlebiger macht.
Daten für einen besseren Vanadium-Flow
Forschende des PSI haben eine dynamische Datenbank zur globalen Vanadiumwirtschaft entwickelt. Sie soll den Einsatz spezieller Energiespeicher vorantreiben – und damit die Energiewende.
Energy Briefing Event 2025
On the afternoon of 28 May 2025, our annual Energy Briefing took place at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern - for the fourth time! This year, everything revolved around the topic of ‘electromobility’.
The event brought together researchers, industry experts, and political decision-makers to discuss the crucial role of electromobility for a sustainable future.
Our speakers, Martin Bolliger (TCS), Prof Dr Sarbajit Banerjee (PSI/ETH Zurich) and Adrian Wachholz (ABB E-mobility), offered exciting insights and engaged in lively discussions with the audience on questions such as:
- How can we scale renewable energy infrastructure to meet the demands of electric vehicles?
- What solutions are there for creating sustainable and resilient supply chains for critical raw materials needed for battery technologies?
- Can innovations such as bidirectional charging overcome regulatory and technical barriers?
