DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g32hp7/nuclear_power_mark) has announced the addition of the "Nuclear Power Market in Italy" report to their offering.
Italy currently has four nuclear power plants active in the country and provides for 10% of its power needs. The Italian government intended to have 25% of electricity supplied by nuclear power by 2030, but this prospect was rejected at a referendum in June 2011. Last year, overall electricity generation in Italy was 290 billion kWh. Of this, 146 billion kWh (50%) was from gas-fired generation; 43 billion kWh (15%) from coal; 28 billion kWh (10%) from oil; and 51.7 billion kWh (18%) hydro.
The report deals with an overview of the global power market which is consistently rising due to rapid industrialization resulting in ever increasing demand for power. 66% of global power market is dominated by thermal power sources viz. coal and petroleum but stringent emission norms and depletion of sources is driving global attention towards renewable technology and nuclear power with a 7.5% market share is going to play a major role in future.
In spite of the Chernobyl disaster and the more recent Fukushima setback, the global installed nuclear capacity is likely to increase at a CAGR of nearly 4% and nuclear generation at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2011-2020. In comparison to other technologies the nuclear power has a nominal impact on greenhouse gas emission.
