Energy Dashboard Switzerland

Gross energy consumption refers to the total energy usage of a country, including domestic energy production, import surplus, and changes in energy reserves. The chart illustrates the shift in Switzerland's gross energy consumption (and hence energy supply) since 1930, moving from coal to oil, the increase in nuclear energy from the 1970s and 1980s, which then remained constant until the shutdown of Mühleberg, and the targets for expanding new renewable energies. PtX (Power-to-X) encompasses all processes that convert electricity into chemical energy carriers. PtX can, for instance, produce hydrogen for vehicles or storage, as well as kerosene for airplanes.
