20 CO2 reduction potential of coal fired power plants

21 CO2 emissions

22 Kyoto Protocol Industrialised countries should reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2012 at least for 5% against the level of 1990 Until now 170 countries have signed the protocol which contribute to 61,6% of the world wide CO 2 - production. USA, China, India, Australia did not yet sign

23 Reduction of CO 2 -emissions by replacement of fossile power plants by nuclear power plants Percent of nuclear power 1 % 3 % 22 % 35 % 76 % (1 toe = kwh)

31 Austria and the Kyoto-Protocol 85% Emissionen is CO 2 Traffic increased since 1990 for about 92%

34 Kyoto Targets

35 Electricity Production and Consumption in Austria

36 Share of Nuclear Electricity in Austria 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Jahr % of European nuclear electricity Electricity imports to Austria % of Austrian nuclear electricity

37 Situation in Austria Electricity consumption increased since 2000 appr.2%/year, from 2009 to 2010 for 4,3% Total consumption 68,1 TWh Practically no hydropower plants sites available, during the last 6 years only 264 MW hydro added Hainburg would be the largest hydro project Since 2002 Austria converted from electricity exporter to importer In the next decade Austria would need a second Danube with the same number of hydro power plants to compensate electricity demand Until recently wind energy strongly supported by government

38 Situation in Austria Electricity production price from wind approx 7,4 cents/kwh, normal 2 cents/ kwh, wind electricity contribution in Austria only 3% Safe back-up energy (fossile, water, nuclear) necessary anyhow Fraction of nuclear electricity in Austria s grid up to 15% (maximum Tirol, Vorarlberg) Net Imports: 5.6 TWh are equal to the annual production of one Temelin NPP block In summer cheap night electricity from NPP s is used to fill the pump storage hydro plants in the Alps which is converted to green water electricity during the day Austria is about 30% away from the Kyoto-target, instead-13% we are at +17%, 2010 Austria bought 400 M CO2 certificates from Lituania CO2 1990: 78,2 Mt, ,6 MT 160 M Zertifikate

39 2014 trotz den zusätzlichen 6% mit 8,6 cent/kwh subventioniertem Windstrom und 0,4% Solarstrom um fast 20% zu wenig Strom. Wir hätten genug, wenn alle Gas- und Kohle-Kraftwerke in Betrieb wären/blieben. Aber dazu müssten wir teures Gas und Kohle importieren Problem mit russischem Gas, Ukraine Konflikt, teure Kohletransporte Mellach, Werndorf, Dürnrohr eingemottet.. (Simmering) Also importieren wir Strom (= billiger), denn den subventioniert der deutsche und teilweise der österreichische Stromkunde mit den Ökostrombeiträgen, aber es ist trotzdem weniger Wind- und Sonnenstrom als Braunkohle- und Atomstrom. Daher sind derzeit unsere Stromquellen. 39

41 Pub Outdoor Gas Radiators 32 radiators operating for 10h/day kwh Equal to consumption of 50 private households/day

42 Summary and Conclusions Mankind is most probably responsible for a major climate change NPP s could contribute a major fraction to avoid greenhouse gas emissions Presently technology for nuclear waste is more advanced than CO2 removal from atmosphere Up to 80% of CO2 emission savings could be realised by increase of efficiency at the producer and at the consumer Construction of new NPP s takes about 10 years =>Today s started NPP construction could only be operational around 2025 The Gen IV NPP s could lead towards a hydrogen economy by using the VHTR To reduce greenhouse gases all possible options must be considered as soon as possible, there is no time left to continue political, psychological and technical obstructions Austria has a large fraction of hydro power, this avoids additional CO2 production

43 What you should remember Largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions are coal fired plants Largest environmental impact of NPPs are highactive spent fuel elements Austria is about 30% away from the 1990 Kyoto target Less than 50% of the electricity production in Austria is from hydro-power Imports originate uniquely from coal and nuclear Nuclear electricity in the Austrian grid is approx. 8% equal to about one year s production of a 1000 MWe NPP
