What is the Cost of Not Having Nuclear Power or Carbon Capture and Storage While Still Stabilizing GHG Concentrations at Safe Levels? Carmen Difiglio, Dolf Gielen International Energy Agency Energy PMP 19 August 2004
Assumptions • A “safe level” of GHG concentrations was assumed to be 550 ppm (highly uncertain). • A “business-as-usual” base case was assumed not to be consistent with achieving 550 ppm (depends on emissions beyond the modeling horizon - 2050). • A low-emission case (GLO50) was assumed to be consistent with stabilizing at 550 ppm beyond 2050. • The IEA ETP model was used to estimate the average and marginal costs of emission reductions. • The most optimistic ETP technology scenario was assumed (with high technology learning) for renewable and efficiency technologies.
