Projects can now begin so that 140 GWh/year – about 10% of CERN’s annual electricity consumption during accelerator operation years – will be provided by renewable sources from 2027

CERN and the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) plan to develop new beam-intercepting devices using liquid-lead technologies to enhance the performance of particle accelerators worldwide

Through a strategic research partnership focused on CERN’s cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency audits have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4% across a total of 800 motors

Find out how we can all help to improve CERN’s energy performance

Another few days and the last 2023 LHC beams will be dumped, hopefully by the machine protection system following a controlled magnet quench

The result of this collaboration on superconductivity could greatly improve energy transmission and accelerate the transition to renewable energy

With energy shortages anticipated this coming winter in Europe, CERN is implementing measures to contribute to the collective effort and minimise disruption.

CERN is taking measures to save energy over the coming winter and in the long term

In light of the current global energy supply and cost crisis, and as part of its social responsibility, CERN will be implementing measures that will significantly reduce the Laboratory’s energy consumption in 2022 and 2023
