On the Path to Net-Zero: 10 Statements on Sector Coupling and Flexibility for the Swiss Energy Transition

On this platform, you can find all the figures and the supporting data from the Synthesis Report “On the Path to Net-Zero: 10 Statements on Sector Coupling and Flexibility for the Swiss Energy Transition” of the PATHFNDR consortium, part of the SWEET programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. You can explore our results for 2050 by selecting the flexibility scenarios (electric vehicles, heat pumps, both or none) and comparing the results of the different models used. You can access the full report and the underlying studies on the ETH Zurich Research Collection.
