1 negatep: future prospects combining climate protection and technological progress
TRANSCRIPT
« Negatep » means (much) less fossil Limit temperature increase and reduce the use of
fossil fuels without use of CCS

We need to move out from fossil fuels for two main reasons - Our energetic independence (geopolitical and economical aspects, including our balance of payments)- Greenhouse effect and reduction of CO2 emission
Thanks to nuclear energy, France has already made a part of the way, by practically eliminating coal from the generation of electricity, and today is an example among industrial countries (for example the German emission per capita is 50 % higher)
But we need to go further, with an objective: a factor close to 3 to 4 on CO2 emissions.
Present situation of Primary Energy in Toe: « tonne of oil equivalent » 1 toe= 42 GJ ( Gigajoules) 1toe ~ 1,6 tonne of coal, 1toe ~ 1170 m³ de gas , 1toe ~ 2,2 tonnes of wood.

Who is producing CO2 in France ?

The near four fold reduction in CO2 emission must focus on the stationary and the mobility demands and involves - Energy conservation (sobriety) and energetic efficiency - Alternative sources of energy Renewable production of heat Additional zero carbon electricity (renewable and nuclear) Bio fuels
6
The basis of Negatep
The priority: limitation of greenhouse gas emissions, among them essentially, concerning energy, CO2.
Control of prices Security of supplies (access to reserves, geopolitics). - The worst is the lack of energy. With these criteria in mind, Negatep compares objectively the technical
feasibility, the costs of different technologies and comes to the conclusion:
The improvement of efficiency is essential but has economical limits
The share of the electricity vector must be increased, with an electricity produced without carbon
To this end, nuclear energy is essential CCS is not retained
Main actions in residential and tertiary sectorsControl of needs
The thermal waste in the residential sector is on average : 210 kWh/m².year today Negatep proposes 50 kWh/m².year in final energy for new constructions and 100 for past ones, but considers that this will not give a division by 3 but by 2 of the total energy consumption, as a consequence of the well known and general rebound effect (a 60% gap between theoretical economy - official rules from 1975 to 2010 - and reality)
Renovations- 20 millions apartments and houses (some of them spending more than 350 kWh/m².year) 500000 renovations
per year - Cost to lower to 100 kWh/m².year: 7, 5 Billions € /year, total cost: 300 Billions €Nota bene: to lower to 50 kWh/m².year: 15 Billions €/year, total cost : 600 Billions € would be necessary , not feasible, too difficult and costly
CO2 emissions Practically eliminate the use of oil and gas in the residential and tertiary sectors. This can be achieved through improved insulation, renewable thermal energies, combined or not with heat pumps, and a
“smart” use of direct electrical heating.- Biomass (local heat networks, and basic individual heating combined with electricity) - Solar heating (mainly for
sanitary hot water, limited for heating building) - Low temperature geothermal energy (aquifer and local heat networks) - Heat pumps (with electricity and ground water, vertical wells, surface collectors, air collectors)

The easiest was done following the petroleum crisis in the seventy yearsNew improvements of roughly the same importance are possible The priority goes to electricity (zero carbon) New needs are likely, such as biofuel
Demand and supply management in transports
10
Today’s situation: almost 100 % dependency on oil,Main origin of CO2 emissions (more than residential and tertiary)
Reduce significantly the use of oil in the transport sector (factor 6 to 7)
- Management of mobility (mass transportation, freight)
- Technology progress (reduce the weight of cars, direct and high pressure injection, variable distribution, downsizing, hybrid cars)
- Replacement of gasoline by electricity, either directly with electric motorisations (electric cars and plug in hybrid cars) or indirectly by supplying energy to the bio fuel synthesis process .
- Bio fuel of second generation (end of first generation)Ligneous-cellulosic biomass (secondary products of forest, specific cultures such as miscanthus)Thermo chemical way: gasification, syngas (hydrogen, carbon monoxide...), Fischer Tropsch process with catalysts) 22 Mtoe of biomass + 7.5 Mtoe of electricity produce : 15 Mtoe of fuel (50 % efficiency); (external energy from electricity: 87 TWh may act as adjustment variable )
Renewables (replenishable sources)
- A social and political priority (should have all the virtues)
- A very large potential but with its limits, for the whole world x 4 ? (very important, but not sufficient to meet all needs)
- Price: a false idea: « it’s gratis, they are free of charge !»
- Put the priority on heat production (biomass, solar heat, geothermal, heat pumps )
- Be prudent with biofuels (competition with other needs for biomass)
- Electricity storage is limited, very bad adaptation of the network to intermittent and fluctuating generation

- PSH (Pumped storage hydro) Global efficiency: 70 %. Example : for 25 GW of wind power, need for 14 Grand Maison (1 600 MW during 18 h)
- CAES (Compress air energy storage) Global efficiency: 55 % Example : for 25 GW wind power, need 400 Huntorf (290 MW, 2 heures)
- Hydrogen (Electrolysis , compression or liquefaction, storage), Efficiency for electrolysis alone: 70 % Nota: the cost is very sensitive to the load factor of electrolyzers * Fuel cell . Global output 30 to 35 % * Methanation : CH4 (CO2 + H2 ) and electricity generation
Global output < 20 % (Methanation including the energy spent to procure CO2 : 40 %)
* Injection in gas network
- Stationary batteries Global efficiency 60 %
- Car batteries : only for loading without feedback to grid Example : 10 millions cars: 10 GW for load (in preference during the night)
Global outlook: share of renewablesfrom weak to significant (Mtoe final energy)

NUCLEAR - 58 nuclear reactors put in service (1977 to 1999 )
78 % of French electricity generation - Life expectancy: initially 30/40 years, now 50/60 ? from
Fessenheim (SCO in 1977), to Civaux 2 (SCO in 2000)
- Third generation EPR : 60 years (probably more)
- The future Gen IV: breeder reactor (Astrid ?)
Acceptance ?Energy independence , continuity of supply Cost of electricity: lowest, under control , stable No CO2 emisssions, main asset against unacceptable climate change
Answer to population anxiety/concern Accidents : the safest energy (for the same production : 5 times fewer severe injuries than with gas, 20 fewer times than with coal…)Wastes management : effective for the main part in volume (95 %) Deep storage scheduled for the high activity, long-lived wastes (5 % in volume)Radiations: Hiroshima has left a lasting fear of radiations, whatever their level (natural radiation a few mSv, low levels (<50-100 mSv)…
20
NUCLEAR Social acceptance RADIATIONS THE LOW DOSES
- France: average background radiation : 2.4 mSv/year, nuclear industry adds 1 %, - The low radiation doses, from the linear extrapolation to hormesis, limit 50 to 100 mSv ?
WASTES: No present and no future health risk: leave to future generations a controlled situation Quantities
very limited: per inhabitant in France 1 kg/year, among them 10 g/year of very high radioactivity (in comparison each year: all wastes: 4000 kg, of which 100 kg highly dangerous)The law of June 2006 relative to « High-level radioactive waste management … deep geological
formations », the Bures Research Laboratory located 500 meters underground : license a repository by 2015, beginning of operation expected in 2025.
ACCIDENTS According to WHO: The less “murderous” energyThe PWR reference took the Three Mile Island accident into account The importance of the feedback of experience (Chernobyl, Fukushima) Safety authority’s independenceStrength of EDF, Areva and specialized companies THE BEST CHOICE FOR ENERGY AND HEALTH (French Medicine Academy)

Nuclear fuel reserves, not renewable, but sustainable ?
Today U 235 (0.7 % in natural uranium) is burnt (fission), together with partial recycling of Pu from reprocessing (Mox fuel))
- For the present use: conventional U reserves: 270 years unconventional U: x 2 to 4 (excluding sea water)
- If world’s nuclear x 3 between today and 2060, with conventional U, avalability until 2110
- If world’s nuclear x 5 from today to 2080, with unconventional U, avalability until 2120
Beyond that: breeder U 238 (fertile) Pu ( fissile); reserves x 100 Sustainable (without limit with U in sea water) Other possibility: Th 232 fertile U233 ( fissile)
Th 232 + n Th 233 Pa 233 U 233 (ex. MSFR )
Nota : In France, the 300000 tonnes of uranium depleted to 0.25 % , could be depletd with the new enrichment method (GB 2) to 0.1 %, and produce 7000 tonnes of fuel, which means 7 operating years, and with breeders (fast reactors ): 3000 years

Negatep, the cost of the energy transition Estimations of total costs (investments, maintenance and operation) over a period of 40 years, according to different scenarios : a) status quo (no global change in spite of + 13 % inhabitants
b) business as usual (no crisis) c) Negatep (sobriety and efficiency)
28
- Negatep, average additional costs 28 G€/year compared with the status quo - Negatep, practically same costs as business as usual
Negatep, the cost of the energy transition
With present costs of fossil fuelsCompared to the status quo* the energy transition proposed by Negatep would cost an average of 28 Billions €/year
This extra cost would be zero - If the cost of fossil increased of 117 % - Or with a combination of a 100 €/t CO2 carbon tax, and a 70% increase in the cost of fossil energies
- * same global energy supply and demand, but as the population increases 13 %, 13 % less of final energy per inhabitant.

Recap Negatep 2011 edition (Revision forecast in 2014)
30
- Global reduction of demand with regard to today, when the business as usual leads to a 38 % increase. - Division by about 4 of fossil fuels. - Multiplication by about 3 of renewable energies- About twice more electricity*, but same as now, practically free of carbon
*Electricty is the main factor of adjustment for the robustness of the scenario)
