Talk

Physics has historically been male dominated. This under-representation of women in physics was discussed at IUPAP’s General Assembly of 1999 and a resolution was passed to create a working group to survey the situation of IUPAP members, the Women in Physics Working Group (WG). This WG held its first International Conference on Women in Physics in 2002 in Paris and conducted its first survey....

Talk

IUPAP is the promoter and organizer of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD). This International Year will span over 2022 and 2023 (Opening Ceremony in UNESCO Headquarters on July 8th 2022 in Paris, Closing Ceremony end of September 2023 at CERN in the new Science Gateway Building). Many events are expected to happen during 2022 and 2023. This...

231. 【35】Substitution of Fossil Fuels with Renewable Energy

Prof. Andreas Züttel (Laboratory of Materials for Renewable Energy (LMER), Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering (ISIC), EPFL)

30/06/2022, 12:15

Talk

On the example of Switzerland and the energy demand of 2019 the technical requirements and the economic consequences were analyzed for the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The three energy systems based on electricity, hydrogen and synthetic fuels lead to the required photovoltaics for the electricity production and the size of the day/night and seasonal storage. The result is...
