Fortunately, Switzerland isn't alone. Our power grid is connected to the rest of Europe, allowing us to pool resources, storage systems and costs with other countries. "The dream of becoming self-sufficient in terms of our power supply is neither technically nor financially optimal if we limit our view to Switzerland," says Paolone. "It's Europe as a whole that needs to become energy independent."

Electrifying our processes and transitioning to renewables will impact power grids in two ways. First, it will change how operators balance the load on their grids and store reserves. "For now, synthesis gas made from renewable energy is the most promising method for storing power and responding to seasonal fluctuations," says Paolone.
