My personal WWTP is in Rüti ZH, right next to my old primary school. The ARA of my town is designed for 14'500 residents.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel(1) that essentially(2) consists of methane(3). Methane is a hydrocarbon(4) with a high energy content that causes the lowest carbon dioxide emission of all fossil fuels. This hydrocarbon is split into hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the fuel cell system and converted into electricity. There is already an extensive(5) infrastructure for the production and use of natural gas. The natural gas resources are large, but ultimately finite(6). [1]
Gas is a non-renewable energy. Non-renewable energy is the largest part of Swiss energy consumption, namely around 79 percent. Because there isn't any fossil fuels found in Switzerland. That means they have to be imported from abroad. [2]

In the following link you can see my post about my project:
https://dontwastemy.energy/2021/01/20/sustainable-investments/
It was a exciting project. I never thought that I will do something like that. I think I did well in fact that I was on my own.
I tried to keep the shape and creation as simple as possible. It is not a really easy topic so i tried to use simple words for people who are not really into this topic. Creation was a post with information how this process works.
It was not a really new experience according to my topic because I have dealt with this before too. But it was interesting to make such a project like this and also going to publish this. I never really published something on a website, just like on the social media.
The research are based on my knowledge and my banking school books during my apprenticeship. Sustainable investments are a big deal and accordingly have many informations in the books. Also some internet websites but these are not the main source.
We want to make a little Post about sustainable investments. Our aim is to share our knowledge with people and maybe help them to invest their money in companies that helps our environment.
Our goal is to find some sustainable companies in switzerland. We now want to make a list with all swiss sustainable companies. Afterwards we wanna take from all sectors (medicine, finance, production etc.) the best companies and make a investment suggestion. The diversity is important because if some sectors have a down, that the investor doesnt make too much loss in his pocket. With good diversity you have the balance of profit and loss.

I would like to make a project about sustainable investing. It would be an interesting topic, because the investment market is huge and it would be better for our world if the investors would put their money in companies, which have a healthy mindset about our ESG (Environmental, Social und Governance). That would give the companies opportunities to improve their strategies.
This project would fit me perfectly because I still work in a bank in my afternoon-off (tuesday, thursday, friday) and I am really interested to make a connection to my work and the environmental & technologies in a project. I also have the enquired needs for doing a project like this.
I want to make a investment suggestion like in my work. For example a customer who wants to invest his money, but only in sustainable companies (also called futura companies), he tells me he has 500 thousand francs to invest. My goal is to make a suggestion with many futura companies and his money splitted up, because diversity is really important if you wanna invest your money. Then I will would present the companies in this suggestion and why they are sustainable.
I want to keep this investment suggestion in swiss companies, so I dont see it neccessary to cooperate with people abroad.
