On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of Euro-CASE, the National Academy of Technologies of France hosts the Euro-CASE Annual Conference 2012 on the theme of Energy independence for Europe.

With the net daily demographic growth of 170 000 people, energy is an incontrovertible and an ever more precious resource every day. It is generally thought that over the next decades, the world will face a considerable increase in global energy demand. If Europe wants to be a signifi cant collective player, economically competitive, if Europe wants to preserve the social and environmental quality of life of its population, it has to defi ne its medium and long term strategies to preserve its energy security and to assure its energy independence.

European energy policy in comparison of other regions of the world

Abstract:“In the fi eld of energy, the international landscape has been altered in the last years by signifi cant events: world and European economic crisis, Arab revolutions, the Fukushima disaster and the German decision to abandon nuclear power, explosion of shale gas production and subsequently oil in the USA, semi failures of world conferences on climate.In the main regions of the world, the evolutions have been uncertain: in the USA, the Gore-Bush fi ght, the Obama attempts blocked by the Congress since 2010, the actions at the level of states; in Russia, the dominant interest in energy exports; in Japan, the debate on the future energy policy post Fukushima; in China, the increasing role in the world energy policy with a priority given to economic growth tempered by the recognition of the fi ght against climate change; in India, the importance given to growth and eradication of poverty; in North-Africa and the Middle East, the complex situation resulting from local evolutions and external events. To be stressed: the increasing role of unconventional fossil fuels, the importance attached to economic growth and employment or fi ght against poverty.European policy is extremely complex: the Lisbon Treaty splits the fi eld between EU authorities and member states, three pillars have been selected (external security, common market, fi ght against climate change) three objectives (GHG emissions, renewables effi ciency), many directives with member-states choices (27 subsidiary policies for renewables), many individual member-states decisions... Hence the weaknesses of the EU energy policy are obvious. Ideological attitudes are often dominant and the cost-benefi t analysis weak.On which bases, could an energy policy be established, assuming no change in the Lisbon Treaty (out of the fi nancial sphere): modesty (size of the EU in the world), evaluation based on future costs and benefi ts (including evaluation of risks), comparison of plausible solutions, search for trajectories including learning processes and keeping relative independence with respect to the emotions of the public opinions.”

Main Grids in Europe (2010, 2030,…)

Abstract:“ ‘From Smart Electrical Grids to a Smart Energy System’ The transformation of the European Energy Systems towards larger energy independence and reduced emissions has created a signifi cant interest for smart electrical grids. Expectations are that smart electrical grids will increase security of supply, allow increased penetration of renewable energy, increase effi ciency and empower customers. Clearly electrical grids will be important in the transformation of the energy system. An optimal solution requires however that the electrical system is not looked upon in isolation but as an integral part of the entire energy system. Electricity, Heat and Gas system could be built in a more integrated manner and be smarter to jointly fulfi l the expectations associated today with smart electrical grids.The presentation will give an overview of how the main vectors of the energy system could be developed together and also give some ideas of how new technological development could open ways for new solutions and possibly also new networks.”

The strategic role of power grids in the worldwide energy transition

Abstract:“After recalling the increasing share of electricity in the energy mix of the future, due on one hand to the major role of electricity in the energy effi ciency increase and on the other to mobilize the various renewable energy resources (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, etc.), we will try to emphasize that power grids will have a central role to play in this energy transition. It will allow us to secure the supply of electricity to our citizens and to integrate the massive development of renewable energy to be mastered, especially, their intermittent nature.There is a strong need to develop more powerful grids not only for distribution but also for large transmission of electricity and at the same time smarter grids to be able to manage the greater complexity of power systems due to the energy transition.”

The Role of the European grids in seeking energy independence

Abstract:“EU 27 energy consumption ranks as the third world region after the US and China. Today the level of European energy import dependency stands at around 50% with an increasing trend. This energy dependency varies signifi cantly through the Member States. Major structural diff erences exist between oil, electricity and natural gas energy chains leading to specifi c energy fl ows and accordingly specifi c oil, electricity and natural gas network design.Key roles of energy European grids are (i) to cover European energy needs, (ii) to ensure security of supply and (iii) to create or enhance competition between suppliers and between producers, through an open and non-discriminatory access.The EU Commission has set a 20/20/20 target. After 2020 horizon, additional objectives are under discussion as refl ected in the Energy 2050 roadmap. This roadmap aims at reducing further greenhouse gas emissions through diff erent decarbonisation scenarios. In this future European energy mix, the prime focus should remain on energy grids: adequate infrastructures are and will be required for managing the renewable energy source penetration. As the EU Commission states ‘new, fl exible infrastructure development is a no regrets option and could accommodate various pathways ’.Better interconnections and fl uidifi cation of European fl ows & networks require potential investments of 70 - 90 billion Euros for the coming 10 years taking into account natural gas infrastructures.France is connected with European gas markets and with LNG terminals. GRTgaz has decided major investments in order to increase internal fl uidifi cation and entry/exit capacities with adjacent European markets. Doing so, GRTgaz is shaping the future of gas transmission.”

Need of a strategy for energetic independence for Europe? Geostrategy of energy

Abstract:“European Union is consuming more and more energy and importing more and more energy products. Community production is insuffi cient for the Union’s energy requirements. As a result, external dependence for energy is constantly increasing, so the European Commission adopted its second strategic energy review in November 2008 in order to reduce its dependency on imported energy, thereby improving its security of supply, as well as reducing its emissions of greenhouse gases.This presentation looks at the balance of energy in the EU where more than half of the EU-27’s energy comes from countries outside the EU – and this proportion is rising. At the same time energy use and related CO2 emissions continue to increase steadily due to fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas, still must be a part of primary energy mix, although reserves, price volatility and uncertainty about future economic conditions are the primary drivers of global energy markets.”

Nuclear energy for the future

Abstract:“According to EuroStat, nuclear heat accounts for 28 % of European primary production of energy, but only for 13% of its consumption. However, its share is steadily decreasing, for the benefi t of CO2 emitting and/or imported energy.Severe accidents (Chernobyl, Fukushima) cast a shadow on any potential future for nuclear electricity generation. However, the latest generations of nuclear reactors (Gen. III+ and Gen. IV) claim to have the potential for mitigating the drawbacks (safety, environmental releases, wastes) of nuclear energy.Having sketched out this landscape, a review of the present and future prospects of nuclear energy, as a part of the European energy mix, will be introduced.”
