Solutions for Sustainability Initiative (S4S)

The Solutions for Sustainability initiative aims at developing sustainable solutions to decrease our energy dependence and carbon emissions.

Drawing upon EPFL’s research and innovation capabilities in Green Energy, Storage and Sustainability (GESS) and in Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), the initiative seeks to create demonstrators on our campus and solutions ready for scale-up.

Seven projects were awarded, mobilizing a total of 26 labs in 3 EPFL campuses. Two of these, are large-scale projects with a 6-year horizon, focusing on GESS and CCSU. The remaining five have a 2-year timespan and their focus is on developing solutions that will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of EPFL.
