ReFuel.ch aims to improve the sustainability and reduce the costs of sustainable fuels and platform chemicals by increasing the efficiency, selectivity, and load-flexibility of production plants to comply with long-term climate policy goals.
ReFuel.ch will therefore develop robust and practical pathways for introducing sustainable fuels and platform chemicals to markets and the Swiss energy system using an inter- and transdisciplinary approach.
This will include inputs from social science (including the Sustainability Research Group), natural sciences, and engineering, as well as the dialogue with relevant stakeholders - i.e., policy makers, regulators, market actors, and end users - via regular thematic round table discussions.
Within this framework, case studies for domestic, European, and non-European implementations will be evaluated and co-designed, and consumer acceptance will be determined through the use of quantitative research methods.
