Initiative<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>The Swiss Center of Excellence on Net-Zero Emissions (SCENE) is a Joint Initiative of the ETH Domain, which covers a wide range of research areas related to net-zero emissions. Energy supply, distribution, and demand are central to many SCENE activities. This includes leveraging demand-side flexibility to match electricity demand with the fluctuating supply from renewables, designing materials for energy-efficient CO<sub>2<\/sub> capturing, defining optimal pathways for biomass use, developing approaches for seasonal storage, and investigating the impact of the energy transition on air quality. This presentation will provide an overview of these activities, together with selected result highlights.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Bj\u00f6rn Niesen is heading the Research and Strategy Support Group and is the managing director of the Energy, Resources &amp; Emissions Research Focus Area at Empa. Currently, he is co-directing the SCENE Joint Initiative. Before joining Empa in 2018, he worked on next-generation solar cells at Imec (Belgium), EPFL and CSEM. He earned his Ph.D. from the K.U. Leuven in Belgium in 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n                                \n                <!-- Meta Details -->\n

Carbon Cycle\u201d within the joint initiative SCENE explores strategies to optimize forest management and wood utilization for climate change mitigation. In recent years, the wood processing industry has experienced significant decline, with a large share of harvested timber being either exported or directly used for energy production. This action area focuses on analyzing, quantifying, and comparing the effects of alternative forest management practices, wood use options, and substitution strategies on the greenhouse gas balance, while also assessing their climate impact. The presentation will give an overview of these activities and highlight selected key results.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Esther Th\u00fcrig leads the \u201cResource Analysis\u201d research group at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL. Her team studies the current state and the development of Swiss forests under climate change and its greenhouse gas effects. The group is part of the Swiss National Forest Inventory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n                                    <div

assesses their willingness to invest into new low-carbon energy technologies or efficiency improvements. In a discrete-choice experiment, homeowners made trade-offs between investments in rooftop photovoltaic (PV), retrofitting, replacing heating system and novel electricity storage solutions against reduction in CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions and price. Simulating technology adoption until 2050 suggests that high willingness to invest in decentralized technologies does not necessarily lead to widespread adoption when cheaper, centralized technologies are available. We conducted a complementary nationwide survey among Swiss tenants to elicit their willingness to provide energy demand flexibility.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eawag.ch\/en\/about-us\/portrait\/organisation\/staff\/profile\/ivana-logar\/show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Profile on Eawag website<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n                                    <div class=\"gs-tm-sicons\">\n                        <div class=\"gs-tm-sicons-lable\">Follow Me On<\/div>\n                                                \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n    \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eawag.ch\/en\/about-us\/portrait\/organisation\/staff\/profile\/ivana-logar\/show\/\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fas fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n                    <\/div>\n                                \n                <!-- Meta Details -->\n                \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div> <!-- End of row -->\n\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Start single member -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member-div gs-col-lg-4 gs-col-md-4 gs-col-sm-6 gs-col-xs-12 single-member-pop cbp-so-section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Sehema & Single member wrapper -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member thumbnail and more -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_55105_25\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--style-one\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/ethrat.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Martin_Saar_500.jpg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Martin O.

Thus, geothermal energy can serve as largely CO<sub>2<\/sub>-emission-free backup power, firming up the power grids of the future that will increasingly rely on only intermittently available solar and wind power. Furthermore, geothermal energy extraction can also be combined with geologic CO<sub>2<\/sub> sequestration in so-called CO<sub>2<\/sub>-Plume Geothermal (CPG) systems, whereby all captured CO<sub>2<\/sub> is eventually permanently stored deep underground and the geothermal power generation is doubled under base case CPG conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Martin O. Saar holds a professorship in Geothermal Energy and Geofluids at ETH Zurich. His research interests are in geophysical fluid dynamics of subsurface multiscale, multiphase, multicomponent, reactive fluid (groundwater, hydrocarbon, CO2) and energy (heat, pressure) transport, such as water- and CO2-based geothermal energy utilization, geologic CO2 storage, grid-scale energy storage, enhanced oil recovery, and groundwater flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n

development<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Sustainable development is often trapped in rigid social and ecological processes that drive environmental degradation and entrench poverty and marginalisation, leaving societies ill-prepared for accelerating environmental and technological change. Breaking free from these lock-ins demands approaches that can open new pathways, anticipate long-term dynamics, navigate uncertainty and balance competing values across space and time. This talk will explore how bridging the silos between science and design can unlock and guide such pathways toward desirable futures. Drawing on a range of landscape-transformation case studies, it examines innovative computational design linked with land-use simulations to co-produce alternative futures that make feedbacks, trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services explicit across scales and over time. This, in turn, provides the basis for deliberative, evidence-based and inclusive institutional arrangements capable of steering complex systems under deep uncertainty and enabling adaptive and equitable transformation pathways.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Adrienne Gr\u00eat-Regamey is an environmental scientist and landscape planner. She has been Professor at the Chair of Planning Landscape and Urban Systems at the Institute for Spatial and Landscape Development, ETH Zurich (Switzerland) since 2008. Currently, her research focuses on understanding how the interactions and\/or actions of humans shape landscapes at various temporal and spatial scales, using different land-use decision models in forecasting and backcasting modes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n                                \n                <!-- Meta Details -->\n

1-2020) and hosted by ETH Zurich. The project consortium is represented by eight research partners \u2013 ETH Zurich, Empa, PSI, ZHAW, HSLU, UNIGE, EPFL and TU Delft \u2013 and 25 cooperation partners. The project aims to develop and analyze transition pathways for renewable energy integration in Switzerland. The project will deliver feasible pathways, provide planning and operation tools, develop pilot and demonstration projects, identify new business opportunities and innovation strategies, and analyze potential policies.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Since September 2013, Christian Schaffner is the Executive Director of the Energy Science Center (ESC), an inter-disciplinary competence centre to promote energy research and teaching at ETH Zurich. It aims to facilitate the deployment of an environmentally friendly, reliable, low risk, economically viable and socially compatible sustainable energy system. Linking over fifty professors from eleven ETH Zurich departments, the ESC enhances cooperation between ETH Zurich, industry, government and society on energy related issues.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, Christian Schaffner was with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy as head of the grid section, responsible for the development of a grid expansion strategy and a smart grid road-map. He was also involved in the bilateral negotiations between Switzerland and the European Union regarding a contract on energy supply. He received his M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and his PhD degree in Electric Power Systems from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich in 1998 and 2004, respectively. In addition, he received a diploma in higher education teaching from the same institution in 1999.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n

Fuels<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Organic chemicals and liquid fuels are central to modern society, yet their production remains largely dependent on fossil resources such as crude oil, natural gas, and coal. The use of renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide as alternative feedstocks presents a transformative opportunity for chemical industry. Catalysts, especially heterogeneous ones, play a critical role in enabling these processes with high productivity and efficiency. This talk will explore catalytic routes to essential chemicals and sustainable aviation fuels, highlighting recent advances and key challenges.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Vladimir Paunovi\u0107 earned his PhD in Heterogeneous Catalysis from ETH Zurich (2014\u20132018), followed by postdoctoral research at ETH and PSI, and a scientist role at ETH. He is currently a group leader at PSI Center for Energy and Environmental Sciences, developing catalysts and technologies for CO<sub>2<\/sub> and renewable hydrogen conversion, with a focus on

transfer platform 2.0<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Advancing from isolated pilot units to systemic transformation requires new models of technology transfer. Small campus facilities, often built with a single purpose, rarely capture the complexity of industrial realities or market dynamics. Instead, transfer platforms should be embedded in real operating conditions and co-developed with industry from the outset. Importantly, it is not only individual companies but entire ecosystems that need to undergo transformation, requiring cross-sectoral collaboration, shared infrastructures, and mutual learning. This presentation illustrates one example of such an approach, showing how TRL, BRL, and policy readiness can progress in parallel to enable successful deployment.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Nathalie Casas is a member of Empa\u2019s Directorate and Head of the Department of Energy, Mobility and Environment.

Switzerland\u2019s net-zero transition: policy, technology, and society. It stresses the need for adaptive, EU-aligned, policies and examines the role of the new energy infrastructures and storage in a low-carbon Swiss energy system. It also provides insights into how acceptance shapes renewables deployment and flexibility provision from consumers. The talk underlines that achieving climate neutrality in Switzerland requires robust policies, technical solutions, and societal support.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Dr Evangelos Panos, Head of the Energy Economics Group at PSI, holds a PhD in Operations Research from NTUA and a Computer Engineering degree from the University of Patras. With 15+ years\u2019 experience, he applies energy-economic models to assess policy impacts and the role of technologies in the energy transition for Switzerland and the EU, as well as for industry and international organisations like OECD and World Energy Council that are interested in global energy futures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links -->\n

bottlenecks<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract<\/h3>\n<p>Access to affordable and clean energy is important to maintain high levels of welfare. Ongoing energy transitions, such as the shift to decarbonized energy systems, create distributional costs and risks (e.g., unemployment) that fuel public hostility and may undermine long-term policy efforts. This presentation discusses important recent developments in theoretical and applied energy economics, focusing on technological innovations, their social consequences, and their policy implications.<\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>Micha\u0451l Aklin is Associate Professor of Economics and Management of Innovation at EPFL, which he joined in 2023 and where he holds the Chair of Policy &amp; Sustainability. He is also co-managing director of Enterprise for Society (E4S), a center jointly founded by EPFL, IMD, and the University of Lausanne. Prior to joining EPFL, he was Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Micha\u00ebl Aklin studies the economics and politics of sustainable and steady development and the policies to achieve it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n                <!-- Social Links
