SANE project, co-funded by the EU Euratom
program and the Swiss federal government, aims at assessing the safety of
non-electric uses of nuclear energy. Among the three main topics addressed by
the project (use-cases assessment, safety assessment of the coupling of an SMR
with a district heating network, and risk communication improvement), I-Tésé
contributions focuses on assessing a specific use-case: e-fuel production from
nuclear energy. More specifically, I-Tésé provides estimates of prospective
e-methanol and e-kerosene demand levels in the EU by 2030 and 2050.
Additionally, potential types and locations of suitable nuclear reactors are
identified, in collaboration with CEA Liten. This project is an additional step
towards system-wide understanding of e-fuels value chains, following the
Sysiphe study (bottom-up prospective hydrogen demand in Europe), the
Kermit study (multi-criteria comparison of e-kerosene production pathways)
and the mapping of current and future point-source CO2 emitters in the EU.
