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
La competitività dei carburanti sostenibili dipende dal sito di produzione
Il sito di produzione, il finanziamento e l'innovazione determinano la competitività dei carburanti sostenibili.
Un modello di sistema energetico completo per la Svizzera
I sistemi energetici devono affrontare sfide complesse e a lungo termine, soggette a un elevato grado di incertezza. Il modello di sistema energetico STEM del Gruppo di Economia dell'Energia del PSI è diventato uno strumento importante per la ricerca di queste sfide e il supporto al processo decisionale.
Nuovo processo per batterie allo stato solido stabili e di lunga durata
I ricercatori del PSI hanno sviluppato un nuovo processo che rende le batterie allo stato solido più resistenti e durevoli.
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?
