Abstract

The British Isles are blessed with one of the largest resources of offshore wind energy in the world. A scenario simulation is used to demonstrate that not only can each society within the British Isles area in a matter of a few decades (say around 2050) develop an energy system to satisfy all energy demands with 100% renewable energy, but there are further export opportunities to cover more than the entire electricity needs of the continental European Union (EU). The political implication of this is that it would be very foolish of the European Union not to use the Brexit negotiations to establish a friendly relationship with the UK that can open for the electricity imports without which it will be very difficult for the continental EU to reach an emission-free and sustainable energy system.
发电厂不列颠群岛
不列颠群岛拥有世界上最大的海上风能资源之一。情景模拟用于证明,不列颠群岛地区的每个社会不仅可以在几十年内(比如2050年左右)发展一个能源系统,以100%的可再生能源满足所有能源需求,而且还有更多的出口机会来满足欧洲大陆联盟(EU)的全部电力需求。这在政治上意味着,如果欧盟不利用脱欧谈判与英国建立友好关系,可以开放电力进口,那将是非常愚蠢的,否则欧盟大陆将很难达成无排放和可持续的能源体系。
