ETH Zurich Tour: Anergy Network

Central Plateau, Zurich



ETH Zurich is moving into a CO2-neutral future. A geothermal storage system that supplies the campus with heat and cold contributes to this. Climb into the catacombs and experience the anergy network.

Highlights

  • Tour of the Anergienetz
  • Insight into research and implementation at the ETH
  • Journey into the CO2-neutral future

Description

ETH Zurich consumes as much electricity on its Hönggerberg campus as a small town and requires an amount of heat that could heat 2,000 single-family homes. At the same time, CO2 emissions must be reduced and net zero must be achieved by 2030 – with more and more students and numerous new construction projects. The solution lies underground: geothermal probes that extend up to 200 meters into the ground absorb heat in the summer and release it again in the winter. The campus has been supplied by the Anergie network since 2013. This allows 5,000 tons of CO2 to be saved per year. Descend into the catacombs of ETH Zurich and experience the 1.7-kilometer-long Anergie network on a walking tour. The future is already here.
