A.II.II European fuel price scenarios
for nuclear fuels, crude oil and hard
coal
To determine the prices for nuclear fuel elements
two scenarios were analysed: DG TREN Trends 2008
and EWI/Prognos 2006 low price scenario. Both use
the same prices per power station as displayed in
Figure 9.3. In general, it can be said that due to the

be used for all European countries.
The prices of crude oil already differ significantly within
each study analysed. Prices range from €60 per MWh
to €25 per MWh in 2030. In most of the reviewed
studies different price scenarios are given. To illustrate
these variations, Figure 9.4 displays some of
the analysed crude oil price scenarios. 51 The dena
