GHG emissions reduction costs for the period 2008-2012 were evaluated in the best case to about 13.3 MEUR annually, and in a less satisfactory case to about 33 MEUR, which represents 0.3 to 0.6% GDP. In such estimates uncertainties are unavoidable, so estimates are presented in five groups of measures (to 5, 5-20, 20-50, 50-100 and over 100 EUR/t CO2). Renewable energy sources (RES) in Slovenia, especially hydro, wind and biomass power plants would probably contribute the reduction up to 270 thousand tons of CO2 annually. Estimates of energy efficiency and other measures are also given.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 19478055Methodology was developed and the approach unified to evaluation of measures / projects from the point of view of GHG emissions reduction in different sectors and different technologies. Methodology and programme tool for evaluation of projects / measures of GHG emissions reduction were developed. The tool is designed on the basis of modules, which enable additional extension in the future. The use of results brings a coordinated approach to evaluation of planning, classification, selection, carrying out and evaluation of measures for GHG emissions reduction in different sectors.
F.23 Development of new system-wide, normative and programme solutions, and methods
COBISS.SI-ID: 19400487On the basis of the developped methodology for evaluation of effects of renewable energy sources (RES) exploitation projects on greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, a tool »VEM« was prepared. »VEM« offers an integrated energy, environment and economic evaluation of RES projects effects on GHG emissions and other pollutants reduction. The importance of that tool to correctly evaluate measures of GHG emissions reduction from technological, economic and sociological point of view is shown. The tool is available on the web page of the Ministry for Environment and Spatial Planning.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 19848999Identification, characterization and inventory of TENORM sources in Slovenia was carried out. Retrospective surveys and measurements results confirmed that the deposited materials at the investigated areas in Slovenia contain elevated levels of natural radionuclides compared with the average content found in soil. The quantities of these materials currently produced are well evidenced; more problematic are historic burdens. The radioactivity in the materials investigated does not exceed exemption levels imposed by the Slovenian legislation in most of the cases.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 20447015A new renovated publication “Statistical yearbook of energy economy of the Republic of Slovenia” is proposed. The concept of the new publication considers the new changed legal framework of energy sector and becomes a main way to publish public information of the Directorate for Energy. The completed internet programme application for data updating from the “integrated database of the energy sector” is an upgrade of the database, which enables fast and efficient updating of data for the presentation of key energy data and indicators. A new way to publish the public information is proposed.
