III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES SWITZERLAND CHAPTER 16 Switzerland 16.1 Introduction The previous (2003) Country Report of Switzerland is Chapter 17 in the GIA Annual Report 2003, which can be found in the Publications area on the IEA GIA website at: http://www.iea-gia.org The numbers presented in the 2003 Country Report were based on estimates by extrapolation. In 2004 a new statistical survey was carried out (Signorelli et al., 2004); the 2004 Country Report is based on these new numbers for installed capacities, energy produced, fossil fuel and CO2 emission savings, etc. They are also reported in the Swiss Country Update Report prepared for WGC2005 (Rybach and Gorhan, 2005). The main setback in the year 2004 was the end of funding for geothermal pilot and demonstration projects by the Federal Government. The highlight was the funding provided by local Cantonal government and private industry and start of the next phase of the Deep Heat Mining Project in Basel (including drilling to 5 km, stimulation, circulation tests). Some details are provided below. The key achievement of Switzerland is in the use of shallow geothermal resources by ground- coupled heat pumps. An evaluation of available worldwide data reveals that Switzerland occupies a prominent rank in installing and running geothermal heat pump systems. 16.2 National Policy The SwissEnergy program, mainly devoted to a more efficient use of energy (with specific tasks such as energy saving, reduction of CO2 emissions, a definitive increase in the contribution of renewable energies) and its goals and measures have been described in the 2002 Country Report (also accessible through the IEA GIA homepage). 16.2.1 Strategy In addition to the description given in the 2002 Country Report (which is still valid for 2004) further information can be found in Vuataz, et al. (2003). 16.2.2 Legislation and Regulations The legal situation concerning geothermal energy utilization in Switzerland has been described in detail in the 2003 Country Report. No significant changes happened in 2004. A comparison with geothermal legislation in other European countries reveals great differences in existing legislations (Rybach, 2004a). Serious efforts are needed to harmonize legislation and to simplify procedures particularly within the EU. 16.2.3 Progress Towards National Targets The progress in reaching both the overall goals of the SwissEnergy Program as well as of the Geothermal Program are satisfactory to date, although the cutback of funding geothermal pilot and demonstration projects is painful.
