Abstract
The premises in the report include the shutdown of one reactor prior to the year 2000. For the calculations of the capacity and production volume of the electricity generation system, we have assumed that the decommissioned reactor corresponds to an average capacity of 835 MW and an annual output of 5 TWh. It is further assumed that the other reactors will be used for their technical life, which is assumed to be 40 years. Furthermore, all calculations of future emissions are based on the policy instruments that have been in effect since 1996. The analysis shows that the effect of measures adopted during the 1990s will lead to a 23% reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2000 and a 26% reduction by 2010 compared with a reference scenario without such measures. Nevertheless, the forecast shows
that carbon dioxide emissions are projected to increase by about 4% by 2000 and 12% by 2010, compared with the normal year 1990. The aggregate increase 2 by 2010 of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane is about 11% compared with the normal year 1990. The Government will counteract such an increase in emissions
