Energy handbook - 2013 edition

This memento about energy presents a series of tables with Key figures about energy in France and worldwide. All types of energy are discussed, with a specific focus on nuclear energy. Numerical data refer to energy resources and uses in France, in the European Union and in the rest of the world: Contents: 1 - Resources, consumption and production: Main energy units; Main power units; UK and metric units conversion; Common units for uranium; Conversion table for uranium compounds; Lower calorific value for coals; basic data about hydrogen; France: primary energy accountancy; Energy equivalence for natural Uranium; Energy equivalence for fossil fuels; A - resources: World: proved reserves of fossil fuels per geographical area at end 2012; World: most important uranium reserves; renewable installed world capacity evolution; Europe: installed capacity for offshore wind power in the EU countries; European UE25 cumulative solar thermal capacity; Europe: electricity production and installed capacity from wind and photovoltaic in the EU; A - Consumption: Scenario of evolution of world population; World: general data for 2011; total primary energy supply; reference scenario for primary energy supply; final consumption of energy for 2011; reference scenario for final consumption of energy; Europe: general data for 2011; biofuel consumption for transport in the European Union in 2012; Electricity consumption per head; Final energy consumption per GDP unit; France: primary energy consumption (corrected for climate) by energy; final energy consumption (corrected for climate) by energy; final energy consumption (corrected for climate) by sector; two retained scenarios in the DNTE context (National debate on energetic transition); electricity balances; energy balance for 2012; B - Production: World: 2010 electricity installed capacities; Electricity generation from nuclear power plants by country at the end of 2012; electricity generation by fuel for 2011; electricity generation; reference scenario for electricity generation; evolution of electricity generation; share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy in 2011 and national overall targets in 2020; France: renewable energy production; electricity balance; cross-border contractual electricity exchanges in 2012; Peak load demand of the French network; 2 - electricity and nuclear Power: Main characteristics of nuclear reactor types; A - Fuel management: France: Characteristics of the 900, 1300 and 1450 MWe PWRs; Nuclear power plants in France - Status as of 2013/01/01; France: Uranium and fuel cycle services requirements; The fast neutron reactor as an actinide incinerator; B - Nuclear fuel cycle: World: Uranium requirements; Uranium enrichment capacity; Natural Uranium and separation work units required to obtain 1 kg of enriched Uranium at a given yield as a function of the depletion yield; Fuel manufacture: requirements and capacities in OECD countries; Used fuel reprocessing units; Waste classification; Main elements in used fuel; Ultimate waste from fuel reprocessing for a 1000 MWe PWR unit; Waste generated annually by reprocessing the fuel of a 1000 MWe PWR unit; Total amount of waste generated by the French nuclear power plants in 1996; Volume of waste generated in the UP3 reprocessing plant; 3 - General information: Physical units for ionizing radiation; Radioactive decay, mean life, half-life; Effective half-life for some radioelements; Radiation ionizing stopping power; Ionizing radiation exposure in France (other than occupational); World average exposure from natural sources; Examples of natural or human generated activity; Radiation protection; environment; History of Greenhouse gas atmospheric rate; Change in average surface temperature compared to 1861; Estimations according to IPCC RCP scenarios of the global average Earth's surface temperature and sea level increasing compared to pre-industrial level; World anthropogenic greenhouse gases emission in 2004; EGreen House Gases emission by sector in 1990 and 2004; The biggest CO2 emitters in 2010; Situation of Greenhouse gas emissions for European Union (27) countries towards Kyoto Protocol; World: evolution of CO2 emissions; CO2 emissions per capita from fossil fuels; CO2 emissions per GDP unit from fossil fuels; Main Greenhouse gases; Europe: CO2 emissions per capita from fossil fuels; CO2 emissions per GDP unit from fossil fuels; CO2 emissions per kWh from electricity and heat generation; Economic data: Examples of average prices of energy in France; Uranium prices (Euratom average); CIF prices of imported energies
