Description

A rapid development of the production of nuclear energy up to 173 EJ/year (4,152 Mtoe, 47,921 TW-h) by 2060 and then to 605 EJ/year (14,520 Mtoe, 167,585 TW-h) by 2110, would limit the average increase of global warming on the earth's surface to 1.5 deg. C more than during the preindustrial era, while reducing the quantity of CO2 to be stored from 800 Gt (under the original MESSAGE-Efficiency scenario) to 275 Gt (under the scenario used in this article) and doubling the total primary energy available between 2015 and 2110.

Abstract (French)

Un developpement rapide de la production d'energie nucleaire pour atteindre 173 EJ/an (4 152 Mtep, 47 921 TWh) en 2060, puis 605 EJ/an (14 520 Mtep, 167 585 TWh) en 2110, permettrait de limiter l'elevation de la temperature globale moyenne de surface (GMST) a 1,5 deg. C par rapport a sa valeur preindustrielle, tout en reduisant la quantite de CO2 a stocker en passant des 800 Gt envisagees dans le scenario MESSAGE-Efficiency originel a 275 Gt dans le scenario objet du present article, et en doublant l'energie primaire totale disponible entre 2015 et 2110.
