CH2040: A quick end to Swiss greenhouse gas emissions

Interactive results viewer

Scenario setup

In total, here we show 18 scenarios. We vary the three parameters “Gas in CH” (x3), “Cross-border grid” (x3), and “Electricity trade with neighboring countries” (x2) to create these scenarios

  • Synthetic gas in CH:  Available, all synthetic fuel imported; Available, all synthetic fuel produced in Switzerland; No synthetic fuel available
  • Cross-border grid line capacities: Current capacities; Reduced capacities; Expanded capacities
  • Electricity trading with neighboring countries:  Additional restriction; Balanced annual trading
