The Energy Science Center (ESC) welcomes Dr. Stefano Moret as a new member of the competence center.

On 31 May, the successful kick-off of the PATHFNDR project took place. PATHFNDR is one of four consortia selected in the first call "Integration of renewables" and funded by the SFOE under the funding programme SWiss Energy research for the Energy Transition (SWEET). Besides the leading house ETH Zurich, teams from Empa, PSI, ZHAW, HSLU, UniGE, EPFL, and also 25 industry partners will investigate how the Swiss energy system has to be transformed to absorb a much higher share of renewable energy sources.

To boost innovative approaches towards implementing Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) launched the funding programme SWEET. ETH Zurich is the leading house of the consortium “PATHFNDR”, one of four consortia selected during the first call.

The Energy Science Center (ESC) is delighted to welcome Prof. André Bardow as member of the competence center. André Bardow works in the areas of energy systems optimization, conceptual process design, life cycle assessment, computed-aided molecular design, thermodynamics, microfluidics as well as CO2 capture and utilization.
