| “Carbon dioxide can be turned into a valuable resource” |
The Swiss energy system is expected to be climate-neutral by 2050. The key to this is science: CO2 can be converted by electrolysis into raw materials for chemicals or synthetic fuels and the cost of a fossil-free energy system can be calculated using modelling.

|
In the extremely dry summer of 2018, beech leaves discoloured in many places as early as July. Now, WSL studies show that up to 10% of these trees died – a multiple of the natural mortality rate. The summer of 2022 is likely to have further affected beech trees in dry locations.
