Christoph Imboden: "Just generating more electricity is not enough".

Energy model regions ©Energie Schweiz - Reservoirs and solar panels alone will not lead us to an energy supply without CO2 emissions. How the energy is used is just as crucial. Our expert Christoph Imboden helps regions get the most out of their resources. Christoph Imboden, Switzerland has set itself the goal of being climate-neutral by 2050. Why are different regions positioned so differently here? There are over 600 independent energy supply companies in Switzerland. In many cases, this is due to historical reasons, corresponds to the idea of independence of the municipalities and takes local conditions into account. The challenges of a tourism-oriented mountain region with local hydropower on the way to climate neutrality are not the same as those of an urban region with high traffic volumes, dense development and emission-intensive industry.
