Swiss Energy Future: Power-to-X Congress Planned for 2026
Switzerland is preparing intensively for the energy transition. In 2026, a significant congress on the topic of "Power-to-X" will take place, addressing the question of how the country can achieve its goal of climate neutrality. The event is being organized by, among others, the industry association Swissmem.
"Power-to-X" technology involves converting electricity from renewable energy sources into other forms of energy, such as hydrogen or synthetic fuels. These methods are considered important building blocks for making industries and the transport sector in Switzerland more sustainable.
The congress will serve as a "reality check" for the Swiss economy. Experts and industry representatives will discuss which technologies are already market-ready and what political framework conditions are necessary to achieve the net-zero target by 2050.
The event has an international focus and will be held bilingually in German and French. For a wider audience, simultaneous interpretation into English will also be offered to promote the exchange of knowledge and innovation beyond national borders.
With this congress, Switzerland is underscoring its commitment to a climate-friendly future. The results of the meeting could provide important impetus for future energy policy and technological development in the country.
