3D printed reactor core makes solar fuel production more efficient
Using a new 3D printing technique, researchers from the group of André Studart, Professor of Complex Materials, and the group of Aldo Steinfeld, Professor of Renewable Energy Carriers, at ETH Zurich have developed ceramic structures with complex pore geometries to transport solar radiation more efficiently into the solar reactor’s interior.
The transition to electric vehicles: Implications for public revenues and funding of roads
CSFM Seminar co-organized together with the Institute of Science, Technology and Policy featuring Bessie Noll from the Energy and Technology Policy Group (EPG), Dr Betsy Sandoval Guzmán from the Vehicle Systems Group at Empa, Alessio Levis from the International Political Economy and Environmental Politics group (IPEEP), and Roman Rosenfellner from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO).
Heavy trucks likely not zero-emission in the near future
Without political measures for zero-emission technologies, a significant proportion of heavy goods vehicles will still run on diesel in 2035. This result is shown in a new ETH Zurich study on the decarbonisation of truck traffic. The summary prepared by Christoph Elhardt for ETH News features CSFM researchers Professor Tobias Schmidt and Bessie Noll from the Energy and Technology Policy Group at ETH Zurich.
