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
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
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
