3 Main Features of PRIMES Full coverage of the energy system, both in demand and supply Mixed representations: Bottom-up (engineering, explicit technology choices) and Top-down (microeconomic behaviors, consistent economic decisions by agent) Modular, with separate modules for each demand and supply sector and separate decision making Decentralized decisions form demand and supply of each energy commodity Market-oriented: market equilibrium prices drive energy balancing of demand and supply per energy commodity Electricity and/or Gas trade within the EU Internal Market and beyond is simulated Extensive set of policies represented Taxes, subsidies, Tradable Permits or certificates Technology supporting policies Environmental policy instruments 3

4 System Coverage Geographical coverage Each EU-27 member-state taken individually Also, candidate MS and neighbors, such as Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, South East Europe Network coverage Electricity and gas interconnections over Eurasian area For electricity and gas markets, the European countries can be simulated as an interlinked system Core of the model: market linked sub-models for demand sectors, power/steam generation, fuel supply Satellite models: Biomass supply, refineries, detailed transport sector model, gas supply (Eurasian), H2 supply Time frame : 2000 to 2030 (is currently being extended to 2050) by five-years periods Model results fully calibrated to EUROSTAT data for the period 1990 to 2005 (simulated). Projections start from

9 Macroeconomic Scenario for the EU Three periods: recession ( ), recovery ( ), low but stable growth period (beyond 2022) GDP annual growth rate is 2% for , 1.7% Demographic projections are based on DG ECFIN s Ageing report 2009, which takes into account dynamic immigration Sectoral Activity Scenario Industrial activity displays a sustained growth pace after downturn during the recession period Energy intensive industrial activity is assumed to remain in the EU Higher growth of non energy intensive sectors Services are the main driver of economic growth in the EU 9

11 Fossil Fuel Prices in Baseline (Constant Euro of 2008 per boe) World Energy Prices as in Prometheus Reference Case Oil Gas (NCV) Coal Probability of peak oil (conventional) around 2020 is low (20%) but gets close to 50% after The share of non conventional oil is 25% by Gas prices follow a trajectory similar to oil, coal prices increase during economic recovery period but then stabilize; Ratios of Fossil Fuel Prices in Baseline (Constant Euro of 2008 per boe) 4.70 gas (NCV)/ coal Hence, gas to coal price ratio increase (this ratio is important for power investment choices) 3.50 gas (NCV)/ oil

12 Evolution of Transport activity by mode Passenger transport is characterised by a strong increase of aviation activity with respect to other transport modes The share of aviation reaches 12.6% in 2030 from 6.5% in 2005 Following a strong decline in the short term the share of rail transport stabilises beyond 2015 close to 8% Freight transport activity grows in a uniform manner for all transport modes Passenger transport activity in Gpkm Aviation Rail Cars and Motor cycles Buses 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Freight transport activity in Gpkm Inland navig.

13 Policy assumptions in Baseline 2009 Policies as in Spring 2009 incorporated Efficiency Directives and regulations, such as on energy services, buildings, labelling, lighting, boilers Regulation on new cars (penalty if above average 135 gco2/km in 2015, 115 in 2020, 95 in 2025 in test cycle) Strong RES supporting national policies, but 20% RES non mandatory Cogeneration directive Large Combustion Plant directive, IPPC directive, national emission ceilings CCS demonstration plants Nuclear revival in some countries, like Italy, (despite continuation of banning by others, Germany, Belgium) ETS Directive included: a) emission allowances up to 2030 decrease, banking allowed, b) full auctioning, after transition phase for some MS, c) extension for aviation, d) benchmarking for most industrial sectors Internal electricity and gas market 13

14 PRIMES REFERENCE SCENARIO

15 Additional policy assumptions for the Reference scenario Achievement of the targets set by the Energy and Climate policy package adopted by the European Parliament in December 2008 Full implementation of the Renewables Directives with limited use of cooperation mechanisms 20% RES in gross final energy demand 10% RES in transport Full implementation of the Effort Sharing Decision Leading, in combination to the ETS Directive, to a 20% reduction for total GHGs emissions in 2020 from 1990 levels Implementation of recently adopted EU legislation Recast of the Energy Performance of Building directive agreed between the European Council and the Parliament in November 2009; expected to become an EU legislation within 2010 Eco-design implementing measures four eco-design and labelling implementing measures came into force after the cut-off point of the Baseline: electric motors, TVs, refrigerators and circulators 15

16 The Energy and Climate policy package The projection of the Reference scenario ensures that simultaneously ETS emissions (plus permissible use of CDM credits) meet the ETS cap cumulatively over Non-ETS emissions reduction target is met for the EU as a whole (-9.4% from 2005 levels), i.e. through a common carbon price for the non-ets sectors in all EU Member States implying the existence of a trade mechanism similar to that of the ETS sectors The targets set in the Renewables directive are met (assuming limited trade among Member States) 16

17 Drivers related to the achievement of the Energy and Climate policy package Carbon prices clearing the ETS market and shadow values of the constraints related to the satisfaction of the non-ets and the RES targets are calculated by the model Carbon prices clearing the ETS market reach /t CO2 in 2020 and 18.7 /t in 2030 The shadow value of the non-ets constraint at the EU level is calculated at /t CO2 both in 2020 and in 2030 The average shadow value at the EU level of satisfying the Member States RES constraint reaches 49.5 /MWh in 2020 and 34.8 /MWh in 2030 The inclusion of the RES directive in the Reference scenario (involving a strong shift towards the use of renewable energy forms in the EU energy system) limits the scope for strong action towards emissions reduction in the ETS sectors Carbon prices clearing the ETS market are projected to be well below those of the 2009 Baseline scenario in which only the ETS Directive is included 17

18 % change per year GDP, Energy and CO2 emissions in the Reference scenario Noticeable effects of the economic crisis on primary energy requirements Carbon intensity (t of CO2/toe of GIC) Gross Inl. Cons./GDP (toe/meuro'05) '90-'00 '00-'10 '10-'20 '20-' In the Reference scenario, energy efficiency progress offsets GDP growth effects on energy demand and so primary energy requirements remain below 2005 levels (with a declining trend in the long run) over the projection period. Carbon intensity of GDP decreases continuously, as a result of efficiency improvements and the full implementation of the Energy and Climate policy package. 18

19 Final energy demand in EU27 Final energy demand in the EU27 stabilizes over the projection period Electrification and higher penetration of renewable energy forms is a key trend in the demand side Distributed heat also gains some additional market share Strong decline in the use of liquid fuels and to a less extend natural gas Mtoe Transport Mtoe Electricity Shares in % Services - Agriculture Residential Rest of Industry Energy Intensive industry RES Gas Steam Liquids Solids

21 Energy and Activity in transportation GDP Passenger transport activity Energy for Passenger transportation Freight transport activity Energy for Freight transportation Transport Outlook for EU27 Policies included in the Reference scenario allow for a fast decoupling of energy demand from transport activity. However, the scenario takes a rather conservative view regarding changes in the fuel mix: 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% CO2 g/km Electric Plug-in hybrids Hybrid vehicles ICE vehicles CO2 intensity (right axis) Fuel Mix Cars Petroleum Fuels 90.4% 88.1% Biofuels 8.9% 11.3% Electricity 0.0% 0.0% Natural Gas 0.6% 0.6% Hybrid vehicles make significant inroads, but grid electricity is not penetrating the market Biofuels develop according to the RES directive targets 21

22 Passenger transport Outlook Energy requirements for passenger transport exhibit a strong decoupling from economic and transport activity growth Regulation for new cars, further electrification of the rail network and inclusion of aviation in the ETS are the main drivers for the more than pronounced energy efficiency improvements projected in the Reference scenario Passenger Transport Index 1990 = 100 Income per capita Travel per capita Energy demand Vehicles efficiency improvement change from 2005, in % Energy Intensity Passenger transport Public road transport Private cars Rail Aviation

23 Freight transport Outlook Trends are similar to those for passenger transport, though less pronounced Freight Transport Index 1990 = 100 GDP Vehicles efficiency improvement change from 2005, in % Energy demand Travel per unit of GDP Energy Intensity Freight transport Trucks Rail

24 CO2 emissions in Transport In the reference scenario transport activity related CO2 emissions are projected to peak in 2015 and decline thereafter reaching by 2030 at levels below those observed in 2005 Technology progress, CO 2 and cars Regulation and increasing contribution from RES are the main drivers for this result Mt CO CO2 emissions in Transport sector Inl.

25 Gross Power Generation by source in TWh RES 2500 Oil 2000 Gas Solids Nuclear Shares in % Gross Power Generation by RES Tidal, etc Geothermal Biomass/waste Solar Wind offshore Wind onshore Hydro Power generation in EU27 Considerable increase in RES generation, obtaining the largest market share already in solar power and offshore wind become increasingly important in the long run Electricity generation from nuclear energy remains rather stable over the projection period. The same applies for power generation from solid fuels and natural gas.

26 Mtoe Mtoe Primary Energy, EU27 In the Reference scenario, lower primary energy requirements and restructuring away from fossil fuels limit import dependence growth 56.9% in 2020 and 57.4% in 2030 from 52.5% in 2005 EU27 will require 24% more gas imports by 2030 than today. Oil imports by 2030 will be 4% lower from today s levels Primary Energy Requirements 1200 Net Imports RES Natural gas Oil Solids Nuclear Natural gas Oil Solids

27 non-co2 GHGs emissions CO2 emissions (non energy related) CO2 emissions (energy related) GHG Emissions (Mt CO2 -eq) Index 1990= GHGs emissions, EU27 GHGs emissions reduce 20.4% from 1990 levels in 2020 and 23.9% in 2030 The reduction takes place for both energy related CO2 emissions and non- CO2 GHGs whereas process related CO2 emissions exhibit a slight increase GHG Emissions (Mt CO2 -eq) Index, 2005= CO2 emissions (energy related) CO2 emissions (non energy related) non-co2 GHGs emissions Total GHGs emissions ETS emissions non ETS emissions non ETS emissions ETS emissions Total GHGs emissions

28 Conclusions The Reference scenario reflects the effects of the economic crisis and includes all new EU policies for energy efficiency, GHGs emissions reduction, RES penetration etc. The scenario delivers simultaneously the ETS targets, the non ETS targets and the targets set in the RES directive. The policies included allow total energy demand to stabilise, RES to deploy considerably and the use of fossil fuels to decrease. Power generation gets into a significant decarbonisation pathway. The energy trends under the Reference scenario imply a decreasing trajectory for GHGs emissions. 28
