Explore key
subprojects driving the GreenHub Project
Discover more about the individual subprojects within this comprehensive research initiative, which is divided into six key areas:
Subproject 0 – Coordination & Management
This subproject ensures smooth coordination across the entire GreenHub consortium, managing communication, task execution, and strategic alignment. Led by OST-IET, it supports project governance and ensures timely progress toward shared objectives.
Subproject 1 – Technical Innovation
Subproject 1 focuses on the development and pilot-scale demonstration of breakthrough technologies for seasonal energy storage and CO₂ utilization. These include high-temperature electrolysis (HTE), Power-to-X fuel synthesis, and renewable metal fuels, which together enable the shift from fossil-based to green energy vectors.
Subproject 2 – Regulatory and Sociopolitical Framework
Subproject 2 delivers system-wide simulations and optimizations to assess energy, economic, and environmental impacts. Using real data from the Living Lab, it models technology integration at the local and regional scale and supports decision-making with advanced simulation tools.
Subproject 3 – Systemic Innovation
Subproject 3 delivers system-wide simulations and optimizations to assess energy, economic, and environmental impacts. Using real data from the Living Lab, it models technology integration at the local and regional scale and supports decision-making with advanced simulation tools.
Subproject 5 – System Demonstration: Living Lab KVA
This subproject builds and operates the Living Lab at the Horgen waste incineration plant. It integrates and tests key GreenHub technologies under real conditions, proving the concept of Green Energy Hubs and delivering vital operational and performance data.
Subproject 6 – Synthesis and Outlook
Subproject 6 synthesizes results from all subprojects to deliver a final assessment of the GreenHub systemic innovation. It develops feasibility studies, assesses scalability, and provides actionable insights for future Green Energy Hubs across Switzerland.
