Alternative pathways to net zero

Challenge view

Alternative pathways to net zero

Visualization of energy scenarios

The problem

Currently, results from energy scenarios are presented in research papers or individual webpages. This makes it close to impossible for policy makers to get the full picture and understand the features of the net-zero Switzerland. How can policy-makers take decisions based on model-driven energy scenarios?

Challenge 07-08 slides

Current state

many scenarios
very detailed information
not easy to extract conclusions

The process

Step-by-step

get a project name
get data ready
brainstorm solutions
divide the work
calculate indicators
visualise the data
develop the tool / dashboard

The goal

Develop a decision-making tool to explore and compare multiple energy scenarios. The tool should visualise for each scenario key indicators and energy sources/carriers.
Target audience

policy-makers

Key indicators

CO2 emissions
Foreign vs domestic
Total costs

The Energy Explorer
