CARBON In 2025-2030 Residual CARBON CARBON
Bil. Tons/year (after 70% red.)
(Replaced by
nuclear)
Minerals 0.6 0.6
Coal 5.9 2.7 3.2
Oil 2.9 3.3
Gas 1.7 1.7
Biomass 0.6
TOTAL 11.7 3.3 8.2
REPLACING CARBON EMITTING FUELS WITH NUCLEAR FUELS
RATIONAL
● LEAVE CARBON FROM MINERAL USAGE INTACT, AS WE NEED CEMENT, ETC.
● COAL IS THE MOST LASTING CARBON SOURCE, LEAVE THE BALANCE OF CARBON
EMISSIONS FROM COAL
● USE ALL RESIDUAL CARBON TO CONVERT INTO OIL
● CONVERTING CARBON EMISSIONS INTO OIL REPLACES CARBON FROM OIL AND BIOMASS
4. HOW MUCH OF NUCLEAR POWER CAPACITY WE NEED FOR THIS REPLACEMENT BY 2030-2050
REPLACING CARBON EMITTING FUELS WITH NUCLEAR FUELS
CARBON Power Power Nuclear plants
Bil tons/year 106
MW heat 106
MW elec. 1000 MW elec.
Coal 3.2 4.3 1.4 ~1,500
Oil/Biomass 3.3 5.4 7.7 ~8,500
Gas 1.7 3.7 1.8 ~2,600
TOTAL ~12,600
HOW FAST CAN 12,600 NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS OF 1 GW CAPACITY BE BUILT?
AN EXAMPLE OF THE MAGNITUDE AND THE OPPORTUNITY
START WITH 4 ADDITIONAL PLANTS PUT IN OPERATION IN 2018
TRIPLE THIS EVERY YEAR UNTIL APPROXIMATELY THREE PLANTS PER DAY are
PUT IN OPERATION WORLDWIDE
MORE PLANTS MUST BE BUILT BY 2100
MORE PLANTS MUST BE BUILT TO MAKE IRRIGATION WATER AND FERTILIZERS
