Decarbonization in Complex Energy Systems: A Study on the Feasibility of Carbon Neutrality for Switzerland in 2050

François Maréchal, Xiang Li, Stefano Moret, Theodoros Damartzis, Boris Meier

Decarbonization gained prominence with the witnessed rise of temperature over recent years, particularly in the aftermath of the adoption of the Paris agreement for limiting the temperature increase within 2°C until 2050. Biogenic resources are explicitly ...

CO2 emission pathways and socio-economic implications

Philippe Thalmann

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 ...

Meta-Modeling to Assess the Possible Future of Paris Agreement

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie, Alain Bernard

In the meta-modeling approach one builds a numerically tractable dynamic optimization or game model in which the parameters are identifed through statistical emulation of a detailed large scale numerical simulation model. In this paper we show how this app ...

Experimental evidence reveals impact of drought periods on dissolved organic matter quality and ecosystem metabolism in subalpine streams

Tom Ian Battin

Subalpine streams are predicted to experience lower summer discharge following climate change and water extractions. In this study, we aimed to understand how drought periods impact dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing and ecosystem metabolism of suba ...
