Research group at @ETH_en led by @BjarneSteffen. We study the governance of the energy transition, and how to catalyze finance for new low-carbon technologies
Zurich, Switzerland

Can you assess ex-ante how climate policies spill over between regions via technological change? We try… Great to finally see this paper out, with @bessie_noll and Tobi @ETH_EPG. #net0prisma
Environmentalists have sported "Think Globally, Act Locally" t-shirts for decades. A study models situations where local green policies can spill over to adjacent jurisdictions, using the electrification of road freight as a case study. In PNAS: https://t.co/59FZHi6GiF

New Paper from a collaboration between our groups @ETH Zurich and @IRENA shows the possibilities and limits of using auction data to estimate cost of capital of Solar PV projects! @ETH_CFP
Good data on renewables cost of capital is sparse, esp for developing countries (where it matters). We present a large-n approach of re-engineering PV auction results, w/ @floegli @NikolaiOrgland @mtaylor_nz @ETH_EPG #net0prisma @esc_ethz_ch @istp_eth

🚨New paper🚨: Offshore Wind 💨 🌊is considered a key technology for 🇪🇺 energy transition, but its Cost of Capital 💶 are comparably high. Why is that, what to do about it? Read our Perspective w/ Mak Dukan, @anuraggumber @floegli @BjarneSteffen

Great to see this online! Co-authored by our very own @floegli. Proposed exactly this about 10 years ago in a @NatureClimate paper on de-risking low-carbon investment (see screenshot). https://t.co/Roy4MefjES Now pls use this data #energytwitter! how to? https://t.co/QDR6JepGXe
And we're live! You know that pesky input assumption to LCOE that is super super important and no one really knows what exactly it should be? Well the cost of capital for #Renewable #power just got a little bit demystified Our report is out 1/n https://t.co/j51ayoemJr

Deploying a diversity of direct air capture and storage technology is critical for complementing deep decarbonization efforts, says @ETH_CFP's @katrin_sievert our latest blog post. https://t.co/JNwa8Kqm1S
#CDR #DACS @istp_eth
blogs.ethz.ch
To meet net-zero targets by mid-century, gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year must be removed through direct air capture and storage (DACS). However, current deployment is low, requiring DACS...

PhD opportunity with us and @ETH_CFP! We seek a student to improve our understanding of the economics of (advanced) geothermal power. Geothermal might be a key tech in a clean energy system (or not, depending on economics). Job description here: https://t.co/BatlMpE3Rd

📰Our partners at @ETH present early evidence on how the Ukraine war has changed public policy support: for policies aiming at the phase-out of fossil fuels, and for policies supporting the phase-in of clean energy alternatives. 👇 @BjarneSteffen @anthonypatt
🚨New paper🚨: Does the Russia-Ukraine war change public support for clean energy policies? We provide early evidence for CH 🇨🇭 and discuss what it means for Central Europe 🇪🇺. With @anthonypatt. @ETH_CFP @esc_ethz_ch @SWEETEDGE_CH @istp_eth

Der indirekte Gegenvorschlag zur Gletscher-Initiative sieht eine finanzielle Unterstützung des Heizungsersatzes vor. Das ist weder ineffizient noch sozialpolitisch falsch, wie in einem Gastkommentar...
