„Power from the desert“ – conference in cooperation with SWP
On 5 November 2009, Prognos and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), Berlin held a joint conference about „Power from the desert“ (Desertec / Solar plan). The participants – including representatives from industry and policy-making bodies – discussed the techno-economic, policy-related and regulatory challenges that power generation in North Africa is confronted with.

A Renaissance of Nuclear Energy?
In this study for the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, Prognos analysed the conditions regarding a worldwide expansion of nuclear energy. The construction of new reactors faces several challenges. Given these challenges, we expect that many of the about 380 announced reactors worldwide will not be built. Given the shutdown of aged plants, the number of reactors in operation worldwide is likely to decrease by 22% until 2020; and by about 29% until the year 2030, relative to the reference level of March 2009.
