AbstractAbstract
[en] The paper concentrates on options for renewing the current Dutch electricity generating park in the next decades. For this purpose, the existing electric generating park of The Netherlands is modelled according to its fuel use and waste generating characteristics. The effect of a generating park transition into one with a large share of nuclear energy on the waste streams, both fossil and nuclear, is analysed. Two demand growth scenarios are used, and nuclear phase-out is taken into account for comparison. For renewables, existing literature on planning is referenced, as well as for energy demand development. This implies a substantial growth for these sources, but their contribution remains limited in percentage. Additionally, in the high-demand scenario the demand growth of 1.5%/year causes a more than doubling of the electricity demand in 2060 compared to 2000. In the analyzed scenarios it is assumed that fossil fuels will become economically unattractive due to high CO2 penalties, or even partly inaccessible due to phase-out by law. Then nuclear will substitute coal and gas to a large extent, growing to a contribution of more than 50% in 2060. In a dynamic analysis, i.e. as a function of time, the electricity supply distribution by source is being determined with the DANESS and DEEA codes, as well as the emission of CO2, SO2, NOx and high-level radioactive waste.
