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
Un passo avanti verso il volo a impatto zero
Il carburante per aerei a base di metanolo verde ha ottenuto la certificazione ASTM, segnando così un’importante pietra miliare per il suo impiego nell’aviazione commerciale.
Il biometano svizzero ha un grande potenziale
Attraverso un utilizzo intelligente della biomassa, la Svizzera potrebbe coprire in autonomia una percentuale consistente del proprio fabbisogno di gas e, così facendo, rendersi più indipendente dal mercato mondiale.
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.
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?
