Dr. Iryna Doronina Senior Researcher at ETH in collaboration with PLUS, for the first time in Ukraine, mapped all energy infrastructure in Ukraine (more than 1700 units), identified energy sector damages and calculated detailed renewable energy potential by region, using...
In Switzerland, the potential of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to integrate renewable electricity is huge, and by using batteries that already exist in electric vehicles, V2G is also more sustainable than producing new batteries for grid-scale storage. However, V2G technology is...
Fusion energy promises an abundant source of clean and safe electricity. With billions of dollars already invested, we have been making unprecedented progress towards making fusion energy a reality. But what is it exactly, what’s the current status, and what...
Energetica is an open-source, web-based multiplayer game that makes exploring the complexities of energy systems both engaging and entertaining. Players must make strategic decisions while facing real-world challenges such as market fluctuations, climate impacts, and limited resources. By combining fun...
Firm renewable electricity, fast decarbonization of (industrial) heating - these are all fields where geothermal energy is increasingly considered as a solution. This article examines the challenges in geothermal energy, explains current and upcoming technologies, and why the industry could...
The Energy Data Summit, held during Energy Week @ ETH, participants discussed the pivotal role of open energy data in Switzerland's energy transition. Our blog discusses the key takeaways of the summit, including the significance of energy data, the current...
Insurance services help individuals, businesses, and organisations be more resilient and recover from financial losses. But what role does insurance have in the energy sector? Find out below with some key takeaways from our recent publication Ensuring/insuring resilient energy system...
Harnessing the sun's energy to generate electricity through building envelopes presents an opportunity for us to contribute to a better future. But what is the energy generation potential of your building, and how can you estimate it? Beyond energy generation...
The integration of renewable energies increases the need for flexible power to be able to always match supply and demand. One source of clean flexible power could be coming from the end-users as the systems at local scale transition to...
You are probably aware that your daily commute contributes to climate change. But just how much? In this blog post, we offer a detailed look at the carbon footprint of various transport modes, from bicycles and scooters to cars and...
To meet net-zero targets by mid-century, gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year must be removed through direct air capture and storage (DACS). However, current deployment is low, requiring DACS technologies to be deployed at an unprecedented pace. The blog...
The global energy transition requires a dramatic shift towards renewable and low-carbon energy technologies. Hydrogen is one of these and can be used to store intermittent solar and wind power. As well as being produced from green electricity by electrolysis,...
