Research project

Energy and carbon flows

Today, Switzerland covers around three quarters of its energy needs through imports. The upcoming energy transition is leading to uncertainty about future energy supplies and a desire to make greater use of domestic energy sources. However, renewable resources such as biomass are only available to a limited extent. Against this…

1st power-to-methane demonstration plant in Switzerland

Theoretical studies had shown that power-to-gas plants can make a decisive contribution to the conversion of the energy supply from fossil to renewable energy sources. The IET is putting this theory into practice and thus making a decisive contribution to the maturation and deployment of the technology.

Research project

R&D at the HEPP plant

At the HEPP plant (High Efficiency Power-to-Methane Pilot), the IET Institute of Energy Technology is conducting research and development in the field of power-to-gas, power-to-X. In 2017, the power-to-gas team started this project with a lot of pioneering spirit. Today, almost four years after the first concept idea, the…
