Dr. Iryna Doronina is a senior researcher at ETH Zürich conducting research in the field of renewable energy focussing on government mechanisms to stimulate the development of renewable energy sources including international legislation and Ukrainian integration. Fostering the sustainable development of Ukraine and the decarbonization of the energy grid by transforming the energy sector through innovation is the key to a new energy future for Ukraine

Iryna's secondary focus is the balancing of power systems in the conditions of use of variable renewable energy sources including the the formation of the hydrogen economy in Ukraine through the introduction of 'hydrogen valleys'

Research focus: 

• Energy sector transformation and potential for low carbon development.
• Ukraine's recovery plan and planning renewable energy clusters
• Policy system Ukraine and EU, in process "green agenda” integration 

Research results:

• ArcGIS Mapping of the entire energy infrastructure of Ukraine
• Assessment and mapping of damage to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine 2022-2023.
• Updated calculation and mapping of technical potential of Renewable Energy Sources development on the territory of Ukraine 2023.
• Proposal for Infrastructure reconstruction in postwar Ukraine, policy options for a low-carbon and sustainable electricity system development.
