Dr. Cyril Brunner is a Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich, specializing in Climate Physics. He leads the SPEED2ZERO project, developing tools and strategies for Switzerland's sustainable transformation aligned with climate goals. His research focuses on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR/GGR) technologies, methane/nitrous oxide emissions reduction, and net-zero strategies. Brunner holds a Ph.D. in climate sciences and a Mechanical Engineering background.
His work bridges academia and public engagement through science communication initiatives, including talks for policymakers, NGOs, and educational institutions. He collaborates with institutions like WSL, PSI, and EMPA on CDR potential assessments. Brunner's contributions include advancing understanding of land-based CO₂ removal methods (e.g., DACS, biochar) and their societal implications.
Key research themes include durability of CDR solutions, methane emission mitigation, and interdisciplinary approaches to climate action. His articles analyze climate policy pathways, atmospheric processes (ice-nucleating particles), and pandemic preparedness. Brunner advocates for integrated strategies addressing climate change, biodiversity, energy security, and landscape preservation.
