Description

The necessary reduction of CO 2 emissions will not only require greener electricty production, but will also increase the demand for electricity. Using yearly a TWh of electricity to run an accelerator (as FCC-ee) will be increasingly hard to justify to the public and policy makers. How much can CERN produce on its own with an aggressive solar-panel deployment strategy? I’ll give a few examples based on tools provided by Canton Geneva and Swiss Department of Energy.
