We will discuss three topics today:

1. Distributed Generation (DG)

2. Electrical Mobility (EV)

3. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Topic 1 – Distributed Generation (DG)

Energy demand will grow due to economic developments

Reduction emissions: need for efficiency and renewables and CCS

Long term: transition to renewables

Source: Advisory Council to the German Government on Global Climate Change (2003)

Predicting markets: What will be the main barrier for DG in 2050 ?

Too high cost for DG 16%

Network not ready to work as smart grid

20%

Storage not available 26%

CCS enables fossil fuels to be used

14%

No worldwide CO2 regulation

10%

Revival of nuclear energy 14%

Topic 2 – Electrical mobility (EV)

History of Electric Vehicles• First car (1890’s)• Every 20 years revival• 80’s• Current developments

Porsche, 1899

Electric vehicles: Why?

• Environment:– CO2 emission reduction

– No local emissions

• Flexibility in usage (renewable) fuels• Lower (future) prices• Image

Breakthrough of EV

• Technology Batteries, charging, infra

• People Acceptance

• Creative Entrepreneurs

• Business Model Challenge

• Context Environment, Government, Public opinion

The public perception of CCS depends on awareness for climate change.

NL

UK

US

• CCS rated more favorable for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions than nuclear or intensive energy savings

• CCS generally recognized as a potentially important carbon mitigation option

• CCS considered less favorable, even compared to nuclear, after giving information on the technology

Predicting markets: What will be the main barrier for CCS in 2050 ?

Cost competitiveness compared to alternatives

18%

CO2 market price not global and not stable

18%

Availability and safety of geological storage

26%

Public acceptance 20%

Regulation and permits 18%

There is a lot of work to do for us all !

Thank you for your attention.
