Economic and Social Considerations for the Future of Nuclear Energy in Society

An ECOSENS Stakeholder Webinar Report is available

Sep 18, 2023 | news

The ECOSENS project  continued stakeholder discussions this summer with consideration of the major drivers of energy demand. A webinar (as well as a short discussion at the ECOSENS Scientific Event) critically examined project assumptions on the state of energy demand in 2050. The proposed assumptions constitute input to the forthcoming project sustainability assessment of renewable and nuclear energy options. At this time, readers can download the public report of the June 2023 webinar “Decarbonizing Europe’s energy system 2: Clarifying non-linear assumptions about energy demand to 2050”. The report has been reviewed, augmented, and agreed by the stakeholder participants, whom we thank for their analytic engagement.
