The Cereme Sheets

These 33 'sheets' discuss various energy-related issues such as: how the French PPE (multi-year energy Program) fails to respond to objectives of energy transition; propositions for the debate on the French energy mix in order to make the PPE evolve; the issue of electric power storage as a solution to compensate the intermittency of wind and solar energy and as a contribution to the equilibrium of the electric system; the role of gas in the taxonomy; the content of the JRC report (Technical assessment of nuclear energy with respect to the 'do not significant harm' criteria of taxonomy regulation); wind energy proliferation is not a solution in France, nor in Europe; the number of inhabitants supplied in electric power by a wind farm; the decrease in property value due to wind turbine installations; some truths about offshore wind energy; public supports to wind energy; the impact of intermittent electrical renewable energies on the environment; the deceptive speech on green electric power (an examination of guarantees of origin); answers to question related to the wastes of nuclear energy; answers to question on risks related to the exploitation of nuclear energy for electric power production; how to use demand to manage needs in flexibility of the French electric power system; the influence of the development of intermittent energies on electric power prices; analysis of the REXECODE report on ecological stakes of decarbonization; perspectives for production costs of renewable electric power; comparison of total costs of electric power production; the absence of correlation between increase of renewable capacities and security of supply; CO₂ abatement costs as a methodological tool to prioritize decarbonization actions and to give priority to the most efficient ones; France's delay in the struggle against CO₂ emissions with respect to its European neighbours; the environmental impact of intermittent renewable energies; the issue of storage as a possible solution to compensate intermittency of wind and solar energy; the wastes of nuclear energy; risks related to the exploitation of nuclear energy for electric power production; study of the minimum distance between dwellings and wind turbines; the need to use intermittent renewable energies to cope with winter consumption peaks expected between 2023 and 2035; a focus on three hidden data: France's delay for decarbonization objectives and France's CO₂ emissions, the competitiveness of nuclear energy, nuclear and hydraulic energies as only contributors to France's security of supply in electricity. Perspectives of development of production and usages of decarbonized hydrogen in France; study of full costs of hydrogen
