Environmental concerns and the urgent need for decarbonization are driving the transformation of the global energy system. Research in the Division 'Energy and Environment' of the Paul Scherrer Institute focuses on Energy System Integration as a key concept for achieving the goals.

Energy harvesting from renewables, centralized and decentralized storage options as well as flexible interconversion between electrical, chemical and thermal energy carriers are required: these technologies must be combined with efficiency measures and load management in the residential, transportation, industrial, and service sectors. Examples from technical research will be illustrated and embedded into the framework of scenarios from Energy Systems Analysis.
