Energy Economics has a new group head
Dr. Evangelos Panos steps into his new role at PSI-LEA.
Digitalisation: a blessing for the energy transformation
Researchers at PSI have calculated the influence of digitalisation on energy consumption.
Seasonal Gas Storage Facilities in Switzerland
Switzerland is the only country in central Europe without large seasonal gas storage facilities. Should it build some?
New report: “Future demand for flexibility and the significance of baseload energy in Switzerland”
In a new report, “Future demand for flexibility and the significance of baseload energy in Switzerland,” PSI-LEA researchers examine the role of baseload energy in Switzerland's energy system and discuss the challenges of transitioning to a mostly CO2-free system.
4000 scenarios for a climate turnaround
Researchers at PSI and Columbia University are calculating in detail how climate change can be slowed down.
Energy security
How can Switzerland achieve the energy transition? PSI researchers provide answers with a unique computer model.
LEA scenario analysis for Switzerland in PSI's 5232 Magazine
5232 — The magazine of the Paul Scherrer Institute includes the latest long-term scenario analysis for Switzerland produced by LEA
“Without these technologies, we will hardly achieve our climate targets”
To achieve carbon neutrality, technologies need to be deployed which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Improving the resilience of Switzerland’s energy supply
The SURE research project is up and running.
Switzerland's energy transition
Can Switzerland, as planned, reduce its CO2 emissions to zero by 2050? What is needed to achieve this? What could it cost?
Long-term developments of energy pricing and consumption in industry
Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, on behalf of a research project funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), have studied how energy consumption by Swiss industry develops depending on energy prices. One result: Price increases for energy usually affect energy consumption only over the long term.
"This is incredibly ambitious"
Every three years, the World Energy Council explores possible developments of the global energy system under different scenarios. Tom Kober, head of the Energy Economics Group in PSI’s Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis and one of the lead authors of the study, explains what the individual scenarios mean and how global warming could be mitigated.
