The global nuclear renaissance will be slowed, not stopped, by events in Japan.\u00a0 That was one of the messages in a presentation delivered in Ottawa on June 24 by World Energy Congress<\/a> Secretary General Christoph Frei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nuclear Shift<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Secretary General Frei, two-thirds of the world\u2019s reactors under construction are in three countries \u2013 China, Korea and Russia – that show no sign of changing their building plans in response to Fukushima.\u00a0 If anything, he said, Fukushima could accelerate a shift of the nuclear industry out of the developed democracies and toward emerging economies.<\/p>\n

Frei opined that the expansion of shale gas<\/a> output is likely a greater challenge to the nuclear renaissance than events in Japan, and that oil shale<\/a> also has enormous potential in energy supply.<\/p>\n

Contextualizing Clean Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

While there is currently massive investment in clean energy sources, Frei noted, this needs to be put into longer-term context.\u00a0 Because the existing base for most new energy technologies is so small, even very rapid growth may take many years to transform the world\u2019s capital stock.\u00a0 As a result, the future impact of green energy is probably being overestimated in the short- and medium-term \u2013 but, for the same reasons, will be underestimated in the long term, if high growth rates continue to prevail when the sector is more mature.<\/p>\n

Development vs. Sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, he observed, it is legitimate for poorer countries to put development ahead of sustainability<\/a>.\u00a0 The world needs to offer them \u201ca development framework with climate mechanisms, not a climate framework with development mechanisms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christoph Frei, an engineer and econometrician, has headed the WEC Secretariat since 2009.\u00a0 He was previously with the World Economic Forum and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.\u00a0 CNA <\/a>was part of a select group of energy policy stakeholders who met with Frei in an event organized by the Energy Council of Canada<\/a> and hosted by the Canadian Gas Association<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
