Green hydrogen - a contribution to Switzerland's security of supply and decarbonisation

Energy and environment 08:00

The conversion of energy systems to climate neutrality and security of supply presents major challenges for Switzerland. Hydrogen has a special role to play in the efforts to decarbonise the energy systems - especially if it is produced ‘green’, i.e. with renewable energy.  

What is the potential of green hydrogen for Switzerland? And what steps are needed to utilise this potential?   

The new SATW publication, which was produced in collaboration with renowned, independent experts from the energy industry, provides an overview of the possibilities of hydrogen technology and applications and shows how hydrogen can be produced, stored, distributed and utilised in Switzerland.  It thus identifies the most important questions and recommendations relating to hydrogen for the current energy debate - for experts and decision-makers in politics, administration, research and business.
