Abstract:
The central question in this report is: how do climate change policieson
the one hand and the liberalisation of energy markets on the other
hand
influence the role of new energy technology? To address this question,
technological, economical and societal aspects have been studied. With
regard
to technological aspects a list is made of technologies which could
become
important when a 50% reduction of annual Dutch CO2 emission
must be realized
in the year 2050. For each of these technologies, future energy efficiencies
are estimated. Using these figures, three 'blue prints' of the energy
supply
system in 2050 are described. In two of these blueprints the energy
infrastructure changes drastically, in that electricity or hydrogen
becomes
the dominant final energy carrier in all end-use sectors. In the third
blueprint the current final energy carriers (methane, electricity and
gasoline/diesel) maintain their dominant position. With regard to economical
aspects, 14 interviews were held with representatives of a wide range
of
companies in the energy sector, focusing on the role of technology
in the
company strategy. With regard to societal aspects, a number of important
energy technologies are analysed in terms of how much societal support
or
resistance can be expected when these technologies are implemented
on a large
scale. Also representatives of two environmental organisations and
a consumer
organisation were interviewed. 75 refs.
