1 Recent long-term scenario results with the TUG-IPP global single-regional energy model I EFDA SERF (TW3-TWE-FESA/A) IEA Workshop on Socio-Economics of Fusion UKAEA Culham, UK, April 2005 Christian Eherer, eherer@itp.tu-graz.ac.at Martin Baumann, martin.baumann@tugraz.at Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics

2 IEA Workshop Culham, 27 April Overview Long-term energy scenario The TUG-IPP model Baseline scenario Scenario variations Fusion available earlier/later than 2050 Conclusions

3 IEA Workshop Culham, 27 April Long-term energy scenarios Internally consistent and reproducible set of assumptions No prediction, no forecast Alternative images of how the future could enfold Focussing on energy part of the economcy Basic assumption: absence of major discontinuities and catastrophes Baseline as point of reference Keep in mind uncertainties and assumptions when discussing/communicating results Long-term energy models are explorative tools for the investigation of such possible futures based on contrasted scenarios

10 IEA Workshop Culham, 27 April Scenario variations (72 in total) Assumption Cumulative CO 2 emission constraints Maximum amount of cumulative sequestrated CO 2 Maximum share of electricity from wind and solar power Amount of primary resources GEN IV Nuclear fission breeding technology (LMFB) Variations 450 ppm / 550 ppm / no limit 300 Giga tonnes carbon / no limit 25% / 50% 65% / 100% / 200% (of baseline) yes / no

11 IEA Workshop Culham, 27 April Boundary conditions for fusion power in the TUG-IPP model Fusion power does not enter the solution, if GEN IV liquid metal fast breeders are available Fusion power is favoured by constrained CO 2 emissions Fusion power is favoured by lower availability of resources (coal, gas, oil, uranium) Fusion power is favoured by lower shares of solar power and wind power, although high shares of renewables are not excluding fusion power from the system fusion power and renewables can coexist Limits on the maximum amount of CO 2 sequestration have no impact on the role of fusion power
