Low Carbon Societies Network Seminar
Phase out of Fossil Fuels:
Proposals for UK, Germany, France and Hungary
|
|
Venue: The New Training Center WISE at the Centre for Alternative Technologies (CAT) Machynlleth Wales, UK
Date: October 5, 2010, 9.00 - 17.30
A seminar to discuss how we can turn the electricity sector away from fossil fuels, based on scenarios and proposals for four countries.
The presentations dealt with critical issues such as:
- What can the transition look like for the four countries?
- How to manage 100% renewable energy every hour of the year?
- What it will cost?
- Can we save power and can we make power available to replace fossil fuels for transport and efficient heating?
Two proposals were made with macro-economic models (France and Germany) and two were made with bottom-up models (Hungary and UK).
