HOW COULD A NO-NUCLEAR SCENARIO LOOK

LIKE?

How it will be possible to substitute nuclear power?

Georg Mader, Wolfgang Lackner, Julia Band

Background Information: 5thof November 1978 : Referendum in AUT

50,47% against nuclear power plant.

Emission certificate trade – nuclear power

Replacement of anti nuclear power law in Germany

Change in Italy

Has every country the same chance to substitute nuclear power?

How much would we have to substitute?

In each country different: Geographical conditions (Lithonia - Denmark)

Even non-nuclear power producing countries use nuclear power (strong supplier network)

Ensures cheap energy for customers but consumers are often „forced“ to use nucl. power

Energymix of the EU-27 countries inclusive Renewable Energy

Sources (RES)

Facts about European countries‘ nuclear power positions:

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‘t change their plans

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 renewable energy potential is about 40.000 PJ/year

Equals about twice the present electricity consumption and 75% of the present heat consumption in the EU

Renewable sources are heavily dependent on geographical position

Wind power

Solar energy

Hydro power

The potential of hydropower which could be tapped in Europe is nearly 2600 TWh/year.

Today only 64% of the economically viable potential (870 TWh/ year) is being exploited.

France, Italy, Norway, Spain-countries with largest amount of hydropower.

Geothermal energy

Today the contribution of geothermal energy is slowly increasing

A continuous and relieable generation 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 No energy during the night Transport
