Description succincte (Anglais)

Switzerland aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 % by 2030, with a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. A central element of this strategy is the application of carbon capture technologies, particularly targeting emissions from point sources which, in Switzerland, are mostly waste-to-energy (WtE) and cement plants. Five technologies – absorption, adsorption, membranes, cryogenics, and oxyfuel – were analyzed in this report for their performance in WtE and cement plants, as well as their environmental impacts.
