Three years ago, the Swiss electorate approved the "Energy Strategy 2050 ," which calls for a shift from fossil energy to renewable energy, abandoning nuclear energy altogether.
This is certainly an ambitious project that will lead to significant CO2 reductions and greater independence from foreign countries, as renewable energy can be produced right in Switzerland, resulting in value creation that remains within our country.
Wood and consequently pellets play a key role in this energy strategy, as this important raw material is not lacking in our Swiss territory, suffice it to say that about two-thirds of the potential of our forest area is not exploited. In Parliament's view, therefore, more use should be made of this resource and it should not be allowed to rot in the forests.
In this video, Swiss parliamentarians are given the floor to explain the Energy Strategy 2050 and emphasize the importance of pellets within this ambitious project.
Happy viewing!
