ISTP Colloquium: Towards a "net-zero" Mobility Future – A systems point of view
In our final colloquium talk of this semester, Prof. Konstantinos Boulouchos from ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering will talk about a "net-zero" mobility future, and he will illustrate the synergetic contributions of technology innovation and policy design. He will also focus on the energy supply and climate change mitigation options for the worldwide and national transportation systems.
Abstract
The Mobility system is highly relevant for the well-being of human society as we will show with particular reference to Switzerland. After briefly examining the implications of past developments for various resources (space, time, other environmental indicators), we will focus on the energy supply and climate change mitigation options for the worldwide and national transportation system.
We will also illustrate the importance of the transitional path dynamics towards a “net-zero” mobility future and discuss the synergetic contributions of technology innovation and policy design to this end.
