EPFL analyzes the economic impact of three energy-transition scenario
(WorldNews Switzerland)

24.05.18- A handful of EPFL laboratories teamed up to compare three energy-transition scenarios that vary in their use of fossil fuels and renewable energy and their energy efficiency. The study found that greater use of renewable energy, combined with more measures to enhance energy efficiency, would create more jobs in Switzerland and increase the country`s energy independence without having any impact on the overall cost. A number of studies have compared various energy-transition scenarios for Switzerland in terms of CO2 emissions and final energy and electricity consumption. But few studies have looked at the economic impact of the country`s energy transition. Researchers at EPFL have...
