    Area of Science:

    • Energy Technology Assessment
    • Federal Republic of Germany Energy Policy
    • Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Energy Futures

    Background:

    • Over 25 years of nuclear power development and 10 years of non-nuclear energy research provide a basis for evaluating energy technology prospects.
    • Nuclear power has emerged as an economically advantageous energy source.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the future prospects of energy technologies in the Federal Republic of Germany.
    • To identify economic challenges and research and development (R&D) opportunities in various energy sectors.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of existing nuclear power development and non-nuclear energy research.
    • Economic evaluation of energy technologies, including energy conservation, new energy sources, and coal.
    • Assessment of R&D potential and policy impacts on economic viability.

    Main Results:

    • Nuclear power is an established, economically advantageous energy source requiring further fuel cycle and advanced reactor development.
    • Economics remains the primary challenge for non-nuclear energy technologies like conservation, renewables, and coal, even at current prices.
    • Limited R&D opportunities exist to overcome economic hurdles; progress in conservation and renewables hinges on policy-driven economic improvements.

    Conclusions:

    • Further development of the nuclear fuel cycle and advanced reactors is recommended.
    • Focus should be on improving key components of technologies like solar thermal power and coal liquefaction for future economic viability, rather than costly demonstrations.
    • Energy policy measures are crucial to enhance the economic basis for energy conservation and renewable energy sources.
