Swiss Energy Research

Swiss energy research statistics

Each year, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) publishes the federal government's Energy Research Statistics (EFstat), which provides information on the expenditure of energy research financed with public funds as well as a detailed compilation of the flow of funds. For the data, both the IEA classification and the CH classification are compiled. The information is based on the federal government's databases and, in addition, on the declarations of the funding agencies (opendata.swiss) (EF_Stat@SFOE).
