14: Future Energy Needs vs. Non-Proliferation Policies
In cooperation with the Directorate General for Development and Cooperation - EuropeAid of the European Commission, JRC - European Commission - Joint Research Center, and EEAS - European External Action Service
This session will address the impact of long-term energy demands on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and traditional nuclear non-proliferation policies. The Fukushima accident has had some impact in Western countries but less on nuclear power expansion in emerging markets. Will the transformation in the Middle East lead to a rethinking of nuclear energy projects in the region? Can we expect new or fewer conflicts over resources in 2030? Will export controls prevent or enable countries to embark on new technologies? Are renewables an alternative?
