5. May 2024 Paper: “CO₂ Neutral Energy Security for Switzerland” (7.7 MB)

Providing renewable energy on demand: what technology can be used and how much does it cost? Switzerland can become CO₂ neutral in 2050 with the combination of renewable energy converters, e.g. hydropower, PV and wind turbines, and day/night as well as seasonal energy storage. Redundancy of power production and reserves of energy carriers allow the production of electricity on demand at anytime.
