Biomass transport for energy in Switzerland

The aim of this project is to explore the transport chains of biomass for energy in Switzerland and assess their economic and ecological impacts. Costs, energy inputs, and CO2 balances are calculated for the major paths travelled by forest wood and manure.

Power Density Switzerland

"Power Density" describes the relationship between energy carrier, area and time. Renewable energies and particularly biomass require much larger area to produce energy compared to fossil fuels. This study helps identify where and to what extent which type of bioenergy could be used.

Biomasse im Energiesystem der Zukunft

Das SCCER-BIOSWEET hat zum Ziel die energetische Nutzung von Biomasse in der Schweiz zu erhöhen. Die WSL ermittelt Ressourcenpotenziale, betrachtet Verfügbarkeiten und zukünftige Entwicklungen verschiedener Biomassekategorien.
