Research project
SCCER Heat and Electricity Storage
The Swiss Competence Center for Energy Research Heat and Electricity Storage (SCCER HaE) has been dedicated to researching storage in the energy system since 2014. The SCCER HaE is supervised by Innosuisse - Swiss Innovation Agency.
Research project
Methanol synthesis
At the Institute of Energy Technology at the University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil, research is being conducted in the field of synthetic energy carriers. A promising possibility for energy storage is the synthesis of hydrogen and carbon dioxide to methanol.
Research project
High Efficiency Power-to-Methane Pilot – HEPP
The HEPP (High Efficiency Power-to-Gas Pilot) project will be carried out from 2017 to 2020 and realized through funding from research and industry. The research results will flow into the European Union's Horizon 2020 research framework program in the Pentagon project, which involves a total of ten institutions from academic…
Research project
Renewable fuel for road transport
Already today, 43% of road traffic could be powered by synthetic natural gas - and this alone with the conversion of CO2 emissions from cement plants and waste incineration plants. This is the conclusion of a project conducted by the HSR University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil as part of the National Research Programme "Energy…
Research project
Renewable Long-Haul Road Transport in Europe (ReHaul)
How can long-haul road transport in Europe reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and meet the European targets? With battery-electric trucks, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles or with trucks with internal combustion engines powered by renewable methane or e-fuels? In a European partnership, the IET shows synergies between…
