  6. Start of Official Environmental Awareness in the U.S.A. NEPA,1969, First Law of the New Decade, Signed into law 1 January 1970 as recognition of a National Policy for the Environment Considers such Broad Problems as Population Growth Resource Exploitation Appropriate Technology

  7. Specific Energy of Major Fuels

  8. Appropriate Technologyas f(Specific Energy) For Large Numbers of Distributed Small-Scale Applications: (e.g., Energy for Individual Buildings) → Low-Specific Energy Resources For Small Numbers of Central Large-Scale Applications: (e.g., Energy for Metropolitan Cities) → High-Specific Energy Resources

  9. Electricity for a HFCV Fleet ? New and Future Demands for Electricity: • Information technology (the Internet) • Mobile cell phones (and apps) • Home management systems • Homeland security • Electric vehicle fleet • Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet

  10. Electricity and Hydrogen Fuel Demand Model, World Input Parameters 2008 ParameterInitial ValueUnits Population 6.87 Billion Vehicle fleet 801 Million Travel distance 9.84 TVKT Fuel economy var km/gal Electricity demand 21.0 TkWh

  13. World HFuel Requirement

  14. World Electricity Demand

  15. Electricity for an Electric Vehicle Fleet Electric vehicles as a transitional or permanent replacement of fossil fuels for automotive vehicles? Appropriate Technology for Electric Vehicle and/or Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Vehicle Fleets? Issues for Non-Cost Consideration: Lag time for production to meaningful fleets Maximum storage of motive “fuel” Maximum driving range; Minimum mass Fuel-cycle environmental impacts

  16. Electricity Demand for BEV Recharging2010 - 2050 ParameterInitial ValueUnits Initial No. vehicles 10,000 Mean annual GrRate 30 %/a Daily vehicle travel 30 mi/day Annual days of travel 260 days/yr Charge depletion rate 0.25→0.17 kWh/mi Recharge efficiency 0.85 kWh/kWh

  17. Electricity Consumption by Local Travel w/ Hydrogen and Electric Fuel Vehicles

  18. Comparison of Electricity Consumption between BEV Fleet and HFCV Fleet Fleet EFleet HFleet Ratio Year (106) (TWh) (TWh) (HFlt/EFlt) 2010 0.01 0.023 0.098 4.3 2030 1.90 3.66 13.3 3.6 2050 361 563 1878 3.3

  19. Sustainability of Electricity Supplyfor a Growing Population ? The Increase in electric energy demand can be forecast by estimating the Integral of the Business-as-Usual growth in demand for Current and New Technologies and the Decrease in demand by estimating the Integral of Technical and Regulated Conservation. ∆ED = ∫(B.a.U.)0egt dt – ∫(Cons)0ect dt

  22. World Nuclear Electricity

  23. Nuclear Production of Hydrogen Nuclear electricity for reforming of natural gas Off-Peak utilization of electricity for electrolysis of heated cooling water High-Temperature electrolysis of steam Thermochemical dissociation of water

  24. Conclusions • Under B.a.U. (or smaller) growth rate, world electricity demand will grow from 20 to ~ 36 Trillion kWh/a by 2050. (2) The lag time to replace fossil fuels with significant amounts of alternative energy resources will be ~ 15 to 25 years. (3) Renewable energy is best suited for large numbers of small-scaledistributed installations; Nuclear energy is best suited for smaller numbers of large-scale centralized installations.
