Significant technical contributions to research and development activities relative to the sustainability of products, processes, or the environment.

Workshop at the 25th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (IEEE ITSC 2022) in Macau.

The Future Mobility program is a long-​​​term research program focusing on solutions that address decarbonization, digitalization, and infrastructure development in the coming decades. Projects approved under this framework provide a unique opportunity for close collaboration with the Mobility Initiative industry partners which are AMAG, SBB, and Siemens. The following projects were approved and will be starting soon.

Concentrated sunlight can be used to produce syngas which is a raw material for fuel production.

What is the design for a sustainable and safe mobility system for all road users? Our CSFM faculty member Dr Miriam Elser is looking for answers.

Investigations have shown that the potential of photovoltaics along the national roads sums about 55 GWh per year, This is roughly the consumption of 11,000 4-person households.

Professor Steinfeld's research team, jointly with EU partners, demonstrate the thermochemical production of kerosene from water and CO₂ in a solar tower fuel plant.

The electromobility roadmap, which has been running successfully since 2018, will be strengthened and extended until 2025.

In the race to combat climate change, sustainable transport systems can play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. As well as focusing on the technological issues at stake, current research also investigates whether there is public acceptance for the changes.

Many existing studies cannot be replicated because the respective data is unavailable, neither publicly accessible nor on request. This is only one of the few problems. From a scientific point of view, we do not seem to know much about BEV acceptance.

The CSFM project lead by Gioele Zardini received the best paper award at the 24^th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems.

SBB wins the Watt d’Or 2022 in the category of Energy Technologies.
