Changes since NEC Report #3 • Revised national energy projections for HU, GR, NO, NL, BE • Revised national agricultural projections for BE, ES, UK • New age-specific population projections from EUROSTAT • “Coherent energy scenario” developed by PRIMES
The “Coherent scenario” • Developed by NTUA in 2006 before the decision of the Heads of States • Based on the PRIMES 2003 baseline assumptions • Targets on GHG emissions and renewable energy • Targets for 2030: -35% CO2, 20% renewables, 20-30% increase in energy efficiency • For 2020 these targets come closest to the recent decisions, but they do not meet them exactly: • GDP +53% • total primary energy +6% (+16% in the national projections) • CO2: -22% compared to 1990 (-24% compared to UNFCCC base year) • 17% share of renewable energy • 32% reduction in energy intensity of GDP

Conclusion The current uncertainties on the future development of energy and agricultural policies result for 2020 large differences between the National projections +3% CO2) and the Coherent scenario (-22% CO2): • CO2 emissions: 31% higher in NAT than in Coh.Scen. • SO2 emissions: 68% • NOx emissions: 19% • PM2.5 emissions: 14% • NH3 emissions: 1% • VOC emissions: 1% • Control costs: 16% • YOLLs: 20% • Eutrophication area: 5% • Acidifying forest area: 72%
