Perspectives énergétiques de la Pologne

Current status: Production of electric energy (2005) approx. 150 TWh. It is sufficient for the needs of country. Conclusion: No needs to build new electric power plants. but

comparison Poland: 150 TWh. France: 580 TWh It corresponds for Poland: 580 TWh *0. 6 = 348 TWh More than two times more !!! What is the reason for this difference? 1. Smaller needs of industry. 2. Using of coal and/or other fuels – where the electricity can be used.

Contribution of different sources of energy in the world production of electricity. Charbon 95 % !!! Contribution of different sources of energy in the production of electricity in Poland (95% - coal) http: //www. biomasa. org/edukacja/odnawialnezrodlaenergii

Why we need new electric power stations? • Development of industry and social infrastructure • Decreasing of: CO 2, SO 2, NOX emission • Diversification of the sources of energy

What new source of energy is suitable for Poland? § Coal – NO (emission of CO 2, SO 2, NOX + diversification) § Oil or gas, – NO (dependence on Russia ? ) § Renewable sources of energy: ü Water – already used ü Wind – OK. but insufficient ü Geothermal sources – too low source temperature ü Sun – OK. but insufficient ü Biomass – unrealistic and unreasonable § Nuclear – OK. but. . . . .

I prefer rather this, (les cigognes) I do not like such view. . and what about the windmills? . . . and I am sure that the birds are of the same opinion.

Today there are more than 400 nuclear power reactors in operation in 31 countries around the world. Generating electricity for nearly 1 billion people, they account for approximately almost 17 percent of worldwide electricity generation and provide half or more of the electricity in a number of industrialized countries.

Nuclear – OK. but. . . . . • Czarnobyl – Society say – „No more!” • Coal resources sufficient for 30 – 50 years • Future of the coal mining industry (mines and miners) ? ? ? (social problem) • No experts in Poland (The construction of first nuclear power plant in Poland was stopped after the Czarnobyl disaster. )

Coal or Nuclear energy – Competition. Unacceptable! Is it possible to change competition cooperation (? ) „That is the question”

Up to now the nuclear plants were only used for the production of electric energy. . but maybe there are some other possibilities?

High-temperature nuclear plants of 4 -th generation can be the solution of the problem, as: Ø electric energy production, ØCoal gas or liquid fuel ü natural source exist in Poland (coal) ü Social problem resolved (miners) ü Independence on the source of liquid/gas fuels (Russia) ØHigh (9000 C) temperature useful for many technological processes, e. g. production of Hydrogen.

Some numbers on Hydrogen production and application • The world production of Hydrogen in 2004 is more than 50 millions ton. • 95% of Hydrogen is produced from the natural gas • 50% is used for the production of fertilizer artificial • 40% is used by the oil refinery • 97% is produced close to the location of its application • 10% - year increase of world production of Hydrogen http: //web. mit. edu/pebble-bed

Hydrogen in Poland today: Nitrogen processing 2 miliards m 3 of natural gas used for the production of Hydrogen and ammonia: CH 4 + 2 H 2 O CO 2 +4 H 2 N 2 + 3 H 2 2 NH 3 High temperature reactor could diminish the year using of natural gas up to some hundreds of millions m 3.

Hydrogen in Poland today: oil refinery System for Hydrogen production at the Płock refinery is using up to 100 thousands m 3/h what is making possible to produce 80 thousands tons of Hydrogen per year. This hydrogen is then used for the processes like hydrokraking to produce light hydrocarbons from the heavy fraction of oil. High temperature reactor used in the oil refinery could increase the year production of commercial liquid fuels up to some hundreds of ton (and/or decrease the using of oil)

High temperature reactor in small and efficient power plant • Thanks to high temperature, T = 900 o. C, the efficiency of the change of heat to electricity is about 45% • In the case of coal plant this efficiency is less than 40%, and for currently working nuclear plants is about 35% • The possibility of construction of small, efficient end ecological coal plant is unrealistic Small, efficient nuclear power plant will make competition for gas power plant – not for a large coal plant.

Heat of the reactor for the coal processing and production of gas and liquid fuel The first stage of synthetic petrol production is carbon processinfg for gas: C + H 2 O CO + H 2 In the next stages the CO 2 is removed from the synthetic gas and the synthesis of hydrogen with carbon oxide is making: 17 H 2 + 8 CO C 8 H 18 + 8 H 2 O This technology is well known but is expensive and strenuous for the environment. Some tons of coal should be used to change on ton for the synthetic petrol. The heat from the high temperature reactor will make possible to change even some hundreds of tons of coal for liquid fuel and this process will be friendly for the environment.

Hydrogen the fuel of the future Hydrogen is seen as a fuel of the future but will become it only when some condition are fulfilled: • Efficient, cheep and clean technologies of Hydrogen production • Systems of hydrogen storage • Fuel cells, making efficiently electricity from Hydrogen and Oxygen

Construction of high temperature reactor http: //web. mit. edu/pebble-

Reaktor wysokotemperaturowy http: //web. mit. edu/pebble-bed/index. html

And what with the radioactive waste? • • Reactor use some tens of tons of fuel par year. Storage of radiactive waste will be near the reactor duriong approx. 50 years of reactor operation and 50 years after the end of work. The storage place do not need a forced cooling From the very begin the fuel is in almost nondestructive microcapsules The recycling of fuel is not predicted.

Conclusion: The high temperature 4 -th generation nuclear reactor is a good solution for Poland.

. . . and what about the future generations?

Poedras@emn. fr Subject: Placement inquiry: CREATION OF THE INTERNET DATA BASE Dear Mr Jakowiuk, As a part of my training in the third year at the EMN, an engineering school of Nantes, France, we have the possibility to carry out a 3 -month placement abroad. I am writing to you because Mrs Poedras forwarded me the subject of the internship. I think you will appreciate my technical skills in internet programming (php, My. SQL, Java ~E) and my ability to understand new systems and languages as well as applying the knowledge I have acquired. I think that this placement is a fantastic opportunity to discover a new culture and to expand my knowledge in fields (internet programming, databases, mobile access ~E) I want to be more skilled in. I will be available from the beginning of May to the end of August. I would be pleased to discuss my resume with you in more detail during an interview. In the meanwhile, do not hesitate to contact me by email should you require any further information. I look forward to hearing from you. Jean Berniolles

En ce qui concerne le domaine, j'aimerais beaucoup travailler dans l'informatique, et plus précisément dans le domaine de la programmation par contrainte, aide à la décision ou recherche opérationnelle (constraint programming, decision systems, operation research). Evidemment je serai prêt à travailler dans un autre domaine de l'informatique, dans le cas d’une proposition différente. En ce qui concerne l'établissement d'accueil, j'aimerais si cela est possible, avoir un stage dans un laboratoire ou dans le département R&D d'une entreprise. Tristram Gräbener Domaine de l’environnement Je suis vivement intéressé par la possibilité d'un stage en Pologne. J'aimerais effectuer un stage qui ait un lien avec le domaine environnemental, le traitement de l'eau par exemple. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin de plus d'informations! Merci pour votre aide. Mathieu Gillard Domaine de l’environnement Je suis très intéressée par l'opportunité de faire un stage en Pologne. J'aimerais qu'il concerne l'environnement au sens large, et je suis ouverte à toute proposition dans ce domaine. Je vous remercie. Laleh Tcharkhti

3. They start to exchange mails, sometimes also phones or faxes in order to clarify the details of the training 4. A am arranging the lodgiing for student(s) in the guest house of our school, sometimes some financial support, 5. In the begin of May students are coming to Poland for the training. 6. At the end of training the supervisor is sending an information with the evaluation of the student activity during the training to EMN. 7. EMN is sending an acknowledgement to the supervisor. It was done already with 31 students of EMN
