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

ECOSENS organizes a stakeholder webinar “Decarbonizing Europe’s energy system 2: Clarifying non-linear assumptions about energy demand to 2050” 

Jun 7, 2023 | news

The energy sector is influenced by policies, consumer behaviors, goals and actions to enlarge electrification, power smoothing strategies and advances, and energy efficiency measures — but also by the development of disruptive technologies and by economic and energy crises. Additionally, the current classical growth-oriented paradigm of development may give way to one focused on a healthy, “sufficient” economy designed to prosper but not necessarily to grow.

Predicting the influence of such drivers on the 2050 regional energy market and demand is a significant challenge.  ECOSENS will conduct a webinar in late June 2023, where a dozen specialist and non-specialist stakeholders are invited to review and tune assumptions on possible evolutions in demographic, environmental, economic, technological, and political developments, as well as social and cultural trends.
