Abstract
Graphical AbstractFuture supply of Switzerland with renewable energy. Assuming the volume of the hydroelectric storage lakes is doubled, the roof area is covered with photovoltaics, and eight power plant units are able to produce 1 GW on demand and are fueled with hydrogen or bio-oil. The reserves are the existing oil tanks, and the bio-oil is also used for aviation. Bio-oil can be produced in abundant places, e.g., Australia or Africa, where palm oil plantations are installed.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Energy Research makes use of the unique Frontiers platform for open-access publishing and research networking for scientists, which provides an equal opportunity to seek, share and create knowledge. The mission of Frontiers is to place publishing back in the hands of working scientists and to promote an interactive, fair, and efficient review process. Articles are peer-reviewed according to the Frontiers review guidelines, which evaluate manuscripts on objective editorial criteria
