Personal carbon trading applied to Swiss air travel - Guaranteeing a fair access to climate ambitious aviation
The climate crisis requires rapid and substantial emission reductions from all economic sectors, aviation included. Given the limited impact that existing policies in aviation will provide in the next decade, national policies might be required to rapidly ...
2024Industrial European regions at risk within the Fit fo 55: How far implementing CBAM can mitigate?
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
The EU climate neutrality target requires substantial changes in the energy system, and the transition toward deep decarbonisation might adversely affect economic activities. The proposal to implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) aims to s ...
2023Endogenous Energy Efficiency Improvement in Housing and Cement Sectors in Switzerland
The reduction of energy consumption in the residential building stock and cement industry is a substantial component of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050. Therefore, it is vital to identify the potential for EEI in these two sectors. In this study, a new meth ...
EPFL2023Leveraging industrial biorefineries for the energy transition
François Maréchal, Julia Granacher
Biorefineries hold the potential to provide products and energy carriers at reduced environmental impact compared to their fossil-based counterparts. Thus, they can contribute to the decarbonization of sectors in which electrification of demands is challen ...
London2023Making the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Acceptable and Climate Friendly for Least Developed Countries
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised several concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU's imports of energy- intensive goods could ...

Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised several concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU's imports of energy- intensive goods could ...
2022Action levers for wellbeing with low energy demand
Why focus on action levers? • Wellbeing with low energy demand is clearly defined in low energy scenarios like LED or DLS, but it is far from obvious how to get there, including even collectively deciding on what is a good transition. • Progressively chang ...
2022Towards a negative-emission society
Negative carbon emissions are proved necessary to limit global temperature increase below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels. (a) Reducing carbon sources and (b) increasing negative emissions are two effective ways to achieve this goal. (a) involves th ...
EPFL2022Regulated CO adsorption by the electrode with OH− repulsive property for enhancing C–C coupling
Michael Graetzel, Jing Gao, Mingkui Wang, Jingshan Luo, Dan Ren, Xiaoyu Zhang, Qixing Zhang, Jialin Wang
Electrochemical CO2 reduction driven by renewable electricity is one of the promising strategies to store sustainable energy as fuels. However, the selectivity of value-added multi-carbon products remains poor for further application of this process. Here, ...
