Energy handbook - 2010 edition

This memento about energy provides a series of tables with Key figures on energy in France as well as 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: 1 - Resources, consumption and production: A - Resources: World proved reserves of fossil fuels per geographical area at end 2009, World Uranium reserves, World reserves of not renewable energies for 2007, Electricity production from wind power, Global installed geothermal capacity and Regional distribution, European UE25 cumulative solar thermal capacity Global cumulative PV capacity, European UE25 cumulative geothermal. B - Consumption: Scenario of evolution of world population, World data for 2007, World primary energy supply, World reference scenario for primary energy supply, World final consumption of energy for 2007, World reference scenario for final consumption of energy, Europe: general data for 2007, Electricity consumption per head, Final energy consumption per GDP unit, France primary and final energy consumption (corrected for climate) by energy and by sector, DGEMP 2008 primary energy demand scenario, France electricity balances, France energy balance for 2008. C - Production: World electricity installed capacities as of 1 january 2006, World net nuclear energy production for 2007, World electricity generation by fuel for 2007, World annual hydrogen consumption and production, World reference scenario for electricity generation, European evolution of electricity generation, France renewable energy production, France electricity balance, France thermal electricity generation by fuel, Peak load demand of the French network, France installed capacity and electricity generation by type of facility for 2007. 2 - Electricity and nuclear power: Main characteristics of nuclear reactor types, France Characteristics of the 900, 1300 and 1450 MWe PWRs, Nuclear power plants in France - Status as of 2007/01/01, France Uranium and fuel cycle services requirements, The fast neutron reactor as an actinide incinerator, World Uranium requirements and enrichment capacity, Natural Uranium and separative 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, Main elements comprised in used fuel, Waste classification, 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 - Generalities: A - Man and radiations: Physical units for ionizing radiation, Radioactive decay, mean life, half life, Effective half life for some radioelements, Radiation ionizing stopping power, Ionizing radiation exposure, Different sorts of exposure for the French population, World average exposure from natural sources, Examples of natural or human generated activity. B - Environment: History of Greenhouse gas atmospheric rate, Change in average surface temperature compared to 1861, Estimations according to CO2equiv. equilibrium of the global average Earth's surface, temperature increase compared to pre-industrial level, World anthropogenic greenhouse gases emission in 2004, Green House Gases emission by sector in 1990 and 2004, The biggest CO2 emitters in 2007, Situation of greenhouse gas emissions for Europe countries towards Kyoto Protocol, World evolution of CO2 emissions, per capita and per GDP unit from fossil fuels, Main Greenhouse gases, Europe: CO2 emissions per capita, per GDP unit from fossil fuels, and per kWh from electricity and heat generation.
