Sažetak
It is analyzed here how the Croatian power system can meet its CO2 emission reduction commitments, in case the Kyoto Protocol is ratified. Several scenarios of medium-term power system development are designed, based on the forecasted electricity demand growth and the retirement schedule of the existing power plants. Scenarios differ in natural gas constraints and the treatment of nuclear power (whether nuclear is allowed among expansion options or not). An optimal power system expansion plan for each scenario is found, together with the electricity generation mix and the corresponding SO2, NOx, particulates and CO2 emissions. If the calculated CO2 emissions do not comply with the anticipated Kyoto quota, various measures are simulated (such as early retirement of the high carbon-emitting power plants, or introducing more nuclear power), in order to achieve compliance. Furthermore, the existence of a CO2 cap-and-trade system is assumed, where each ton of CO2 above the allocated quota is charged with a penalty in the range of 5-30 US$. The latter is the expected price range for CO2 emission allowances on the soon-to-be-lauched European Union emissions market. The expected yearly costs i.e. revenues associated with the assumed cap-and-trade system are calculated for the period 2008-2012, for the analyzed power system development scenarios.
