  2. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context World - Future EnergyChoices Source:IEA report “Energy to 2050 – Scenario for a Sustainable Future (2003)”

  3. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context World – СО2emissions

  4. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Bulgaria - EnergyDependency

  5. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Bulgaria - СО2 emissions in relative shares compared to 1988

  6. Sectoral intensities Industry Transport Services Agriculture Households The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Bulgaria - Energy intensity tendency Final Energy Consumption by Sectors

  7. CHP, renewable and new fossil Existing fossil power plants The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Energy scenarios Bulgaria - Low carbon tendency Electricity supply

  8. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Energy Scenarios - environmental constraints

  9. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Bulgaria today – three good and three bad news • Today's energy intensity of the economy is twice lower than at the beginning of the transition in 1989 • Today’s energy intensity is still 1,83 higher than the EU27 average • Today's CO2 emissions are twice lower than the country commitment under Kyoto • Further expansion of fossil fuels use will breachcommitments in post Kyoto period • Today's energy independency is 52%, better than the EU27 average • Today’s 48% dependency is just from one source

  10. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context WEC STUDY CONCLUSIONS European countries, and the European Union member states in particular, must seriously consider including the nuclear option in their energy policies. This implies improving public awareness about the energy issues, providing factual information and conducting comprehensive and efficient communication campaigns. The European members of the World Energy Council (WEC) are ready and willing to work together with all stakeholders to ensure a facts-based, balanced and unbiased approach to the assessment of the nuclear option as a part of WEC’s strategy of keeping all energy sources open.

  11. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Europeans and Nuclear Safety (Special Eurobarometer, 02’2007) Option: Nuclear energy ensures lower and more stable energy prices

  12. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Еuropeans and Nuclear Safety (Special Eurobarometer, 02’2007) Option: Nuclear energy helps to make us less dependent on fuel imports, such as gas and oil

  13. The role of Nuclear power in EuropeThe Bulgarian context Еuropeans and Nuclear Safety (Special Eurobarometer, 02’2007) Option: Nuclear energy helps to limit global warming
