Samenvatting:
Energy technology options for CO2 reduction are evaluated in a process-oriented dynamic national costs minimizing LP-model of the Dutch energy system. Several scenarios are calculated with drastic (up to 78%) reductions of national CO2 emissions in 2020, in order to identify cost-effective CO2 reduction strategies. Cost-emission trade-off curves are constructed and an overview (’shopping list’) of energy technology options relevant for CO2 reduction is presented. CO2 reducing options in all scenarios include: renewables, recycling, fuel switch, efficiency improvements and energy conservation. In some of the scenarios two additional options were considered: nuclear energy and CO2 removal. The average costs to reach 70% CO2 reduction by the year 2020 are around 100 Dfl/ton CO2, corresponding to less than 1% of the Dutch GNP in the policy time period 2000-2020. At high reduction percentages marginal costs increase sharply due to the introduction of new expensive energy technologies. The average costs to reach 50% CO2 reduction are less than 40 Dfl/ton CO2.
