Costs of meeting international climate targets without nuclear power
This report assesses the impact of a global phase-out of nuclear energy by 2050 on the costs of meeting international climate policy targets in 2020. The analyses are based on simulations of a reference scenario and a nuclear phase out scenario with the global energy systems model POLES. The phase-out of nuclear power decreases the global share of nuclear energy from 12 % to 8 % and increases gree...read more
