Smart Energy Applied Solutions

11 November, 14:00 - 17:00

online via Zoom

Our energy supply is currently facing fundamental changes. Sustainable and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy are replacing the widely unpopular and climate-damaging fossil fuels. As we move towards a more sustainable path, new systems are required to keep up with our energy needs.

The smooth integration of renewable energy sources, efficient storage solutions – long- and short-term –, as well as a dynamic interplay of different technologies are key to achieve a post-fossil energy future. This year's Technology Briefing, co-organized by the research institutes CSEM, Empa and PSI, will present practical digital solutions for sustainable and promising energy systems.
