Wind energy and scenic landscapes: balancing beauty and power through better planning
A new study shows that, across Europe, wind farm planning can avoid especially scenic areas without increasing generation costs. However, at the regional level, conflicts remain between landscape conservation and energy objectives, as exemplified in the Alpine region.
Lint Barrage, what are the economic consequences of climate change?
Climate change is not just an environmental issue. Lint Barrage examines how it influences the global economy – and argues that the economic risks are already apparent today.
More speed needed
Three years ago, the institutions of the ETH Domain came together to actively promote decarbonisation in Switzerland through the Speed2zero initiative. The initiative has now come to an end, and project director Reto Knutti looks back at what was achieved.

Switzerland’s Sluggish Electric Vehicle Uptake: Policy Options for Acceleration
Transport is Switzerland’s single largest emitting sector. Around 14 million tons of CO₂ equivalents per year, more than a third of the national total. And unlike buildings or industry, it has barely improved: transport emissions in 2023 were only 8% below 1990 levels, compared to a decrease of 46% in the building sector. With passenger cars accounting for roughly 77% of all land-based passenger-kilometres, the car fleet is where the problem sits.
Strom war in der Schweiz schon immer CO2-arm
Dank Wasser- und Kernkraft produziert die Schweiz seit Jahrzehnten vergleichsweise sauberen Strom. Wegen der Elektrifizierung brauchen wir künftig mehr. Im Interview erklärt ETH-Energieexperte Christian Schaffner, wie die Schweiz diesen zusätzlichen Bedarf decken kann.
IEA’s Perspective on the Clean Tech Market: Growing Demand, Concentrated Supply
Clean technology markets have undergone a profound transformation. What began as a science-based necessity to mitigate climate change has rapidly evolved into a compelling economic opportunity. This was a central theme of a recent talk by Timur Gül, Chief Energy Technology Officer at the IEA and a proud alumnus of both PSI and ETH Zürich.
Next-generation heat pumps for a clean industry
Industrial process heat is one of the toughest parts of the decarbonisation puzzle—and today’s renewable options are still limited. Heat pump manufacturer Scheco has implemented a new refrigerant-mixture approach in real machines, translating research from ETH Zurich and OST into industrial practice.
ESC welcomes Professor Moritz Drupp as new member
Professor Moritz Drupp joins the Energy Science Center (ESC) as a new member of the competence center. He is Associate Professor for Sustainability Economics in the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics (D-MTEC).
