10 Scenario definition BASE scenario: no explicit security of supply or climate protection policies Security of supply scenarios: i. SQ5: Reducing share of coal, natural gas and petroleum imports in consumption to 5% for each fuel by 25 Limiting market share of a single importer to 25% of total imports by 25 ii. TQ5: As SQ5, but reducing combined share of coal, natual gas and petroleum imports to 5% by 25 Variants: i. CO2 reduction scenarios: 1. CO2: Reduction scenario yielding same CO2 emissions levels as in SQ5 2. CO2-NOCCS: excluding CCS ii. SQ5-NUC: 5% higher nuclear generation in 25 compared to SQ5 iii. OG5: import quotas for oil and gas, but not for coal Uwe Remme Tackling Energy Security IAEE 28 1

20 Conclusions BASE scenario without taking any explicit security of supply measures: i. Imported dependency of TPES on fossil fuels expected to increase from 55% in 25 to 85% in 25. ii. Dependency of electricity generation on fossil imports increases from 25% to 38% in the same time frame Measures to reduce import dependency (SQ5 scenario): i. End use sectors: energy efficiency, biofuels in transport -> Fossil import dependency of final energy demand reduces to 24%. ii. CO 2 emission can be halved, however, at high costs compared to pure CO 2 mitigation target. iii. Electricity generation: plant efficiencies (already in BASE), CHP, Renewables (58% in 25) -> Fossil import dependency of electricity drops to 7%. Flexibility in import quotas (TQ5): i. Reduced use of imported coal and especially natural gas in power generation to allow higher dependency on oil for transportation. Variants: i. CO 2 mitigation targets reduce fossil fuel use in power generation (if CCS is not available), but to lower degree in other sectors ii. Nuclear in combination with hydrogen can be in option to reduce oil use in transport. iii. Quotas only on oil and gas (OG5) increase coal imports being used to produce CTL fuels for transportation.
