Power-to-X: Switzerland prepares for the 2026 congress
Switzerland is increasingly focusing on innovative energy solutions to achieve its climate goals. In 2026, a significant congress on the topic of "Power-to-X" will take place, bringing together experts from science and industry.
So-called Power-to-X technology involves converting electricity from renewable sources into other forms of energy. These include, for example, hydrogen or synthetic fuels. These processes are crucial for reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
The planned congress will serve as an important "reality check" for the "net-zero" goal. Participants will examine how far the technologies have already been developed and what concrete contribution they can make to a secure and economical energy supply in Switzerland.
For Swiss industry, this is a central topic. As the country requires a stable energy supply, research into efficient storage and conversion methods is of great importance for the future of the Swiss economy.
The event aims to highlight which technological hurdles still exist and what political framework conditions are necessary. In doing so, Switzerland remains an important player in the global energy transition.
