Zero carbon energy system of South East Europe in 2050

摘要: Abstract South East Europe is the region in a part of with approximately 65.5 million inhabitants, making up 8.9% Europe’s total population. The countries concerned have distinct geographical features, various climates and significant differences gross domestic product per capita, so integration their energy systems considered to be challenging task. Large between mixes, still largely dominated by fossil-fuel consumption, make this task even more demanding. This paper presents transition steps 100% renewable system which need carried out until year 2050 order achieve zero carbon society. Novelty compared other papers similar research goals assumed sustainable use biomass considered. It important emphasize here that only can carbon-neutral. resulting consumption model was 725.94 PJ for entire region, line potential region. Modelling zero-carbon using smart concept, together its main pillars, i.e. power-to-heat power-to-gas technologies. power generation mix shows wide variety sources utilized no single source has than 30% share, also increases security supply. Wind turbines photovoltaics are technologies shares 28.9% 22.5%, followed hydro power, concentrated solar (mainly used cogeneration units) geothermal sources. To keep within sustainability limits, there some type synthetic fuel transportation sector. Nevertheless, achieving promises financially beneficial, as calculated annual socio-economic cost 20 billion euros lower base year. Finally, efficiency measures will play an role society: primary supply 50.9%
