The aim of this paper is to explore the long-term relevance of negative emissions for the attainment of Paris agreement goals. For this purpose, we extend a game theoretic meta-model used to assess the future of Paris agreement to the time horizon 2100 and ...
This presentation draws from the IPCC's special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5° the new global carbon budget and what it implies in terms of CO2-mitigation pathways. It then compares Switzerland's past mitigation performance with these impl ...
Relatively low travel costs and abundant opportunities for research funding in Switzerland and other developed countries allow researchers large amounts of international travel and collaborations, leading to a substantial carbon footprint. Increasing willi ...
In Switzerland, transportation represents 41% of CO2 emissions from energy combustion (2016), a much higher share than in the European Union (EU) (28%) or even the USA (34%). While total Swiss CO2 emissions decreased by 10% between 1990 and 2016, CO2 emiss ...
Simulating the implications of Brexit on the UK's emissions embodied in trade with a multi-region input-output table exposes the benefits of European integration. Under 2014 trade volumes, technologies and energy mixes, a hard Brexit-reverting to a trade p ...
PurposeThere is increasing interest in using fate and exposure models to spatially differentiate the impacts of chemical emissions. This work aims at exploring the operationalization in life cycle assessment (LCA) of spatially differentiated models for tox ...
Energy storage solutions are a vital component of the global transition toward renewable energy sources. The power-to-gas (PtG) concept, which stores surplus renewable energy in the form of methane, has therefore become increasingly relevant in recent year ...
Here we present the new project “Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and Reactivity” (ICHEAR), which is focused on examining the role of human emissions on indoor air chemistry. The specific goal of this project is to investigate the impact of exhaled and derm ...
Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas aftertreatment to reduce methane emissions from lean burn natural gas vehicles as well as in stationary combustion processes. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide high activity for this reaction, but they deactiva ...
Reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases while promoting social and economicdevelopment is one of the toughest challenges ever faced in the history of human kind.This challenge is affecting all sectors of human activities: process plants, land-basedtr ...
