Bioenergy in Switzerland: Assessing the domestic sustainable biomass
To illustrate the role of bioenergy in Switzerland''s energy supply, we compare the energy content of the sustainable biomass potential to the Swiss primary energy consumption. We close by discussing the main factors that could in the future constrain or drive the use of biomass resources.
Application of Biomass Materials in Zinc-Ion Batteries
The introduction of biomass molecules with redox active groups, the application of dynamic and adaptive coatings, and the design of complex three-dimensional hierarchical porous structures are all effective control strategies to construct advanced biomass materials for zinc-ion battery electrodes.
Implementation of bioenergy in Switzerland 2021 update
• Renewables make up 22 % of Switzerland''s total energy supply in 2019. The renewable energy share in final energy consumption is 28%2. Around 30% of renewable energy originates from biomass and renewable fraction from waste. • Solid biomass represents around half of bioenergy; the use of renewable MSW for energy is high

The "Bioenergy" research programme supports innovative and relevant themes for Switzerland in the production of energy from biomass. The programme coordinates application-oriented research at the national level, exploits synergies and secures international networking.
Potentials of domestic biomass resources for the energy
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) examined relevant woody and non-woody biomass quantities (cubic meters, fresh-, dry weight) and their energy potentials (in Petajoules: primary energy and biomethane) with a similar methodological approach.
Techno-economic analysis of green aviation fuel production using
The biomass-battery includes a flexible Power-to-X production chain with a green energy storage capability. In the current analysis, the biomass-battery uses biogas or biomethane in a combined heat and power plant to produce electricity, when there is a lack of renewable power. in a Swiss context, i.e. Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) and Power

biomass and renewable fraction from waste. • Solid biomass represents around half of bioenergy; the use of renewable MSW for energy is high in Switzerland, representing a third of total bioenergy. • The use of solid biofuels compared to the domestic forest area in Switzerland is modest and there is room for increased mobilization.
Rechargeable Biomass Battery for Electricity Storage/generation
AbstractThe development of a rechargeable battery that can produce valuable chemicals in both electricity storage and generation processes holds great promise for increasing the electron economy and economic value. However, this battery has yet to be explored. Herein, we report a biomass flow battery that generates electricity while producing furoic acid, and store electricity
Energy from biomass
In 2018, renewable energy accounted for 23 percent of Switzerland''s end energy consumption, while biomass accounted for around 25 percent of the utilised renewable energy. It is therefore the second most commonly used form of
Sustainable Battery Materials from Biomass
Research on the topic of biomass-based battery materials would not have been possible without support by Markus Antonietti. I further acknowledge discussions with Saowaluk Chaleawlert-umpon, Steffen Tröger-Müller, Martin Oschatz, and Philipp Adelhelm. Jinyeon Hwang is acknowledged for helping with literature searches in the fields of binders
Energy from biomass
In 2018, renewable energy accounted for 23 percent of Switzerland''s end energy consumption, while biomass accounted for around 25 percent of the utilised renewable energy. It is therefore the second most commonly used form of renewable energy after hydropower.
Wood fuel in Switzerland
To enable the energy transition in Switzerland, SCCER BIOSWEET assessed the current and future potentials of primary energy from the different woody biomass types in Switzerland; developed and implemented innovative technologies for biomass utilization in the fields of heat, electricity and fuels; and investigated the future role of woody
Switzerland 2018 update
biomass provides 5.5% of the total energy consumed in Switzerland, while its share in electricity production is around 2.9%. With regard to renewable heat 68% is from biomass of which 52% comes from wood combustion alone. It is estimated that 10% of the final Swiss energy consumption could be
How biomass could help Switzerland reach its energy goals
The WSL team estimates that in theory, all that biomass could be used to produce 209 petajoules (PJ) of energy each year – roughly equivalent to the energy content of 4.8 million tons of crude
Sustainable Biomass Activated Carbons as Electrodes for Battery
1. Introduction. The conversion of biomass residues into bio-based materials can provide opportunities for biomass-based industries by reducing costs and even creating value from their by-products [1,2,3,4].Biomass-derived activated carbons (ACs) can be obtained with tailored properties to meet the tremendous need for low-cost, high-performance, porous
Pure Solid State Batteries From Switzerland
Swiss startup Swiss Clean Battery (SCB) AG said this week that it will build a gigafactory to produce pure solid-state batteries at its headquarters in Teufen, Switzerland. "With production scaling from 1.2 GWh to 7.6 GWH, SCB AG will serve both the Swiss domestic and international markets with sustainable battery storage from 2024," the
Application of Biomass Materials in Zinc-Ion Batteries
The different regulation strategies and characteristics of biomass used in zinc-ion battery electrodes, electrolyte separators and binders are demonstrated. The regulation mechanism is analyzed. At the end, the development prospect and challenges of biomass in energy materials application are proposed. Switzerland). 3.2. Biomass with
Inter-comparison of spatial models for high shares of renewable
In contrast to the other two models, EXPANSE also includes an estimation of the Swiss biomass potential for woody and non-woody biomass [41] as well as power-to-x. In terms of uncertainties around the batteries, the availability of a fixed battery capacity (0.4 GW in BatLow and 1.7 GW in the BatHigh scenarios) hardly impacts the remainder
