Georg Mader, Wolfgang Lackner, Julia Band How could a no-nuclear scenario look like? How it will be possible to substitute nuclear power?
Background Information: • 5thof November 1978 : Referendum in AUT 50,47% againstnuclear power plant. • Emission certificatetrade – nuclear power • Replacementof anti nuclear power law in Germany • Change in Italy • Haseverycountrythe same chancetosubstitutenuclear power?
Howmuchwouldwehavetosubstitute? • In eachcountry different: Geographicalconditions (Lithonia - Denmark) • Even non-nuclear power producing countries usenuclear power (strong suppliernetwork) • Ensurescheapenergyforcustomers but consumersareoften „forced“ tousenucl. power
Energymix of the EU-27 countries inclusive Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
How far the 11th of March 2011 changed the positions? • first reactions on this disaster happened on the stock exchange: E.ON, RWE stocks decreased, Solarworld increased by 50%. • electoral defeat of the nuclear power friendly CDU at a local election • China’s nuclear power plans have been stopped recently • UK waits for a report • Esp, Fra, Ita, Pol won‘tchangetheirplans
German government’s plans of the introduction of a nuclear fuel element tax (Steuer auf Brennstäbe) • It is discussed that nuclear power generating companies should buy from now on for the final disposal costs and not as before by the states
The possibilities of substitution • European renewableenergy potential isabout 40.000 PJ/year • Equalsabouttwicethepresentelectricityconsumption and 75% ofthepresentheatconsumption in the EU • Renewablesourcesareheavilydependent on geographicalposition
Hydro power • The potential of hydropower whichcouldbetapped in Europe isnearly 2600 TWh/year. • Today only 64% oftheeconomicallyviable potential (870 TWh/ year) isbeingexploited. • France, Italy, Norway, Spain-countries withlargestamount of hydropower.
Geothermal energy • Today thecontributionof geothermal energyisslowlyincreasing • A continuousandrelieablegeneration of power
Problems with Windpower • Variable wind conditions • Noise • Sea and countryside wind farms • Vulnerable Turbines under tough conditions
Promlemswith Hydropower • Big footprint • Limited ressources • Terror targets
Problems with Solarpower • Investment intensive • Depending on location • Noenergyduringthenight • Transport
