The Emmen valley - The vision of a valley heated without oil
by zopemaster — published Sep 23, 2004 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:04 AM — filed under: , , , ,
Timber and solar energy rather than oil, gas and electricity are to be the heating resources of the future in Switzer-land's Emmen valley. Although the Emmen valley region is densely forested, each year it still buys in some CHF 30 m's worth of oil, gas and electricity - while more than half the wood accruing each year simply rots away in the region's forests. It's a situation the "Oil of Emmental" project hopes to remedy.

The Alps ideal for generating solar power
by zopemaster — published May 24, 2007 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:21 AM — filed under: ,
According to a study by the EU research laboratory for the environment in Ispra/I the profitability ratings for solar power installations in Alpine regions are similar to those of solar installations in southernmost Spain. Solar irradiance in the hills and mountains of Austria for example reaches an intensity of up to 2,000 kilowatt-hours per square metre.
