Introduction to Future Technology Transformations FTT – Part (2) Pim Vercoulenピムバクレン p.vercoulen@student.ru.nl June 3rd, 2018ASSIA officeNagoya University 名古屋大学
Outlinefortoday • Recap of last FTT:Seminar • FTT:Steel • Preliminary results on China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan • The data that is stillsoughtfor • FTT:Power • Workingwiththevaryingpolicies • Subsidy + demandpolicies • Exogenouscapacityadditions (e.g. governmentenforced) + Regulations • Carbon tax + Feed-in-Tariff
Recap of last week • Methodology of FTT framework • Levelisedcost • Preference Matrix • Change in market share • Preliminary Results of FTT:Steel • Manydata gapsstillexists • WorkingwithFTT:Power • We’veusedsubsidies / taxeson capital investment costs • Regulations on coal power
FTT:Steel – China – Challenges • Low scrap availability • Low quality of domestic iron ore andcoal • Overcapacity -> Utilisationrates of 50% werereported! (OECD 2015)
FTT:Steel – China – Policies • NationallyDeterminedContributiontotheParis Accord: • Reduceemissionintensity(GtCO2/GDP) • Thisdoesn’tmean a reduction in absolute emissions • Reach peak emissionbefore 2030 andreduceafterwards • Increaseenergy efficiency (GJ/tcs) • Reduceovercapacity • Closing down small (i.e. inefficient) plantstoincreasetheutilisationrate • Merge small to medium steel companies to large ones
FTT:Steel – Japan – Challenges • Lack of domesticrawmaterials • Exporttothe US mightbecome a problembecause of steel tariffs • More room forthesecondaryproductionroutes togrow, probablynotenoughtobecomeself-reliantthough
FTT:Steel – Japan – Policies • NDC target of 26% GHG emission reduction by 2030 compared to 2013 • Steel sector specifically addressed: • Efficiency improvement of electricity-consuming facilities • More chemical recycling of waste plastic at steel plants • Introduction of next-generation coke making • Improvement of power generation efficiency process (SCOPE21) • Enhanced energy efficiency and conservation facilities • Introduction of innovative ironmaking process (Ferro Coke) • Introduction of environmentally harmonized steelmaking process (COURSE50) • COURSE50 • Voluntary action taken bythe steel industryto focus on new, low-carbon technologies • GHG emission reduction target of 30% by 2050
FTT:Steel – Korea – Challenges • Exemptedfrom US steel tariffs
FTT:Steel – Korea – Policies • GHG emission reduction targets: • 30% below BAU by 2020 • 37% below BAU by 2030. • Emission Trading Scheme • Includes the iron and steel industry
FTT:Steel – Taiwan – Challenges • Relies on import of resources • Taiwan is at risk of being affected by US steel tariffs
FTT:Steel – Taiwan – Policies • No NDC, but a unilateral voluntary contribution • “Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act” • Reduce GHG emissions by 50% compared to BAU in 2050
Data needs • Historicalutilisationof technologies is not well reported. Examples: • In KoreaFINEX is used (designated as a SRI+ - BOF route), but no timeline of steel productionbythistechnologycanbe found. • The sameforCOREX (designated as SRI-BOF) in KoreaandChina. • AndHismelt (designated as SRI-BOF) in China • Accurate data on anythingthatcould affect thelevelisedcost of steelmaking: • Regionalspecific investment costs • Operationand maintenance • But most importantly, materialconsumption
FTT:Power – Policy setting examples Now back to policy setting withFTT:Power
FTT:Power – S2– Subsidy + Demand • Scope : Japan (No. 35) and China (No. 41) • Goal : Incentivizerenewables (…and cheat a little bit) • Policies • Subsidies on investment costs: • 75% forallsolarand wind technologies (enter: -0,75) • Electricity storage tocapacity ratio (MEES and MEKS): • Japan: 1% in 2018. Let itincreaseby 2% annuallyuntil 50% is reached • China: 30% in 2018. Let itincreaseby 0,25% annually • EvaluateEmissions, Electricity Price, Market shares of CoalandRenewables (solarand wind), and Total InstalledCapacity • Realizethat changes occurduetotechnologicaldiffusionwhich are drivenbythe LCOE
FTT:Power – S3– Capacityadditions + Regulations • Scope : Japan (No. 35) and China (No. 41) • Goal : SubstituteCoalforits CCS variant • Policies • Regulations: • Coal: • Japan: 85 GW in 2018 and a 2,5 GW annualdecrease • China: 750 GW in 2018 and a 20 GW annualdecrease • MWKA: • Coal (CCS): • Japan: 5 GW in 2018 and a 3,75 GW annualincrease • China: 40 GW in 2018 and a 30 GW annualincrease • EvaluateEmissions, Electricity Price, Market shares of CoalandRenewables (solarand wind), and Total InstalledCapacity • Realizethat changes occurduetotechnologicaldiffusionwhich are drivenbythe LCOE
FTT:Power – S4– Carbon Tax + Feed-in-Tariff • Scope : Japan (No. 35) and China (No. 41) • Goal : Incentivizerenewables • Policies • Carbon tax: • For both China and Japan: 55 €/tC in 2018 andincreaseby 6.5% annually. • Feed-in-Tariff • Solar: From 2018 onwards enter 75 forallsolartechnologies • Wind: From 2018 onwards enter 75 forall wind technologies • EvaluateEmissions, Electricity Price, Market shares of CoalandRenewables (solarand wind), and Total InstalledCapacity • Realizethat changes occurduetotechnologicaldiffusionwhich are drivenbythe LCOE
FTT:Power – Overview of results • S0: Baseline • S1: Regulations on Coal in combinationwithtaxes on technologiesthatmightreplaceit • S2: Subsidies on renewablesandanincrease in storage capacity • S3: Regulations on Coalmitigatedbyexogenouscapacityadditionson Coal + CSS • S4: Carbon taxin combinationwithFeed-in-Tariffs on renewables • Japan • Best scenario mightbe S2 for Japan, whileitdoesn’tworkthat well for China • China • Best scenario mightbe S3 for China, whichalsoworksfor Japan tosomedegree
