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
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.
Dati per un migliore flusso di vanadio
I ricercatori del PSI hanno sviluppato un database dinamico sull'economia globale del vanadio. L'obiettivo è quello di promuovere l'uso di speciali sistemi di accumulo di energia e quindi la transizione energetica.
POLIZERO: Il progetto del PSI mostra come raggiungere la neutralità climatica
L'obiettivo dell'azzeramento netto è realizzabile, se la Svizzera decide di seguire la giusta rotta politica.
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?
