CO₂e BALANCE
The concept of the exhibit is based on the CO₂ balance from the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, which was designed by Stefan Fahrngruber (MAST). The numbers were adapted to Switzerland by focusTerra in collaboration with scientists and with the help of various publications and databases (see references).
