Sažetak
Because energy production plays a significant role in global greenhouse gases emissions, possibilities for their reduction must be carefully evaluated. When projected increase in the global energy consumption is taken into account, it is obvious that only nuclear option offers the possibility for expected economic growth in undeveloped countries and countries in transition accompanied with significant carbon dioxide emission reduction. Possibilities for carbon dioxide emission reduction in Croatia that would be the result of the nuclear option acceptance are presented in this paper. Fossil fuel consumption projections are given as well as associated carbon dioxide emissions. Possible carbon dioxide emissions decrease that would be a result of fossil fuel energy substitution by nuclear energy are calculated and discussed. It has been demonstrated that the value of carbon dioxide emission set by the Kyoto Protocol could be met only in case when three nuclear power plants have been introduced into the Croatian power system.
