  • Research administration and institutions
  • Important projects in the field of H2-FC
  • Events

3
Energy Sources from ROMANIA
  • Production of Electricity according to energy
    sources in Romania, as compared to other
    countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the
    European Union.

The structure of gross primary resources
consumption
Year 2001

Primary energy sources in Romania
Projection - Year 2015
  • Renewable sources of energy will have a major
    role to the energy balance in upcoming years.
    Romania has also an important energy potential
    in solar, wind energy and biomass and offers
    utilization availabilities at the local and
    national level.
  • The Strategy of capitalizing renewable energy
    sources, drawn up by the Ministry of Economy and
    Commerce in 2003, proposes as a 2015 target that
    the share of renewable sources reach about 10 of
    the overall demand.

6
Renewable energy in Romania
  • Today, the renewable energy in the amount of
    primary energy sources is 5
  • Although, Romania has a grate potential for
    hydroelectric power, the current generation
    capacity represent a small part of gross primary
    resources consumption
  • The overall hydroelectric potential is about 40
    TWh/year, 12 TWh being already developed
  • The Romanian wind resources are good, especially
    to the mountain and Black Sea coast area. The
    available potential realistic assessed was
    estimate to 2000MW.

7
Potential for wind energy
8
Challenges
  • Romania ratified the framework Convention on
    Climate Changes. By signing the Kyoto protocol,
    Romania committed itself to mitigate greenhouse
    gas emissions with 8 versus 1989. Consequently,
    environmental impact mitigation was a
    particularly important objective of energy
    policies, considering the perspective of
    Romanias integration to European Union.
  • Renewable sources of energy play a particularly
    important role Energy production on renewable is
    expected to grow in the nearby future.

9
Energy policy
  • National Strategy for Energy Development on
    Medium term
  • The National Energy Strategy on Medium Term
    aims at the creation of efficient energy markets,
    whose development could be ensured in a durable
    way, in high quality and security conditions of
    the energy supply, observing the EU energy
    efficiency and environment protection standards.
  • The Strategy establishes three main
    directions of activity
  • financial unblocking of the energy sector
  • starting the privatization process in the
    distribution and then in the electricity
    production sector
  • ensuring a functional and sustainable
    development on medium term by stimulating new
    investments for the energy sector.
  • An essential objective of the National Strategy
    for Energy Development is the increase of energy
    efficiency on the whole chain of natural
    resources, production, transport, distribution,
    consumption, by an optimum use of market economy
    mechanisms.
  • The main directions of the national policy in the
    field of energy efficiency are
  • increasing the energy efficiency in all sectors
    of the economy,
  • promoting the new financing mechanisms in order
    to stimulate investments in the field of energy
    conservation,
  • promoting private initiative and development of
    energy services, promoting new technologies with
    high-energy efficiency and international
    co-operation in the field of energy efficiency.
