Accelerated development of global clean energy industry
2022-12-12
According to the World Energy Outlook 2022 recently released by the International Energy Agency, as more and more countries begin to accelerate energy transformation, the global clean energy industry has entered a rapid development period, and the renewable energy power generation is expected to grow by 20% in 2022. Thanks to the growth of clean energy power generation, such as wind energy and solar energy, the growth of global carbon dioxide emissions is expected to decrease from 4% in 2021 to 1% this year. The report also pointed out that although the current energy crisis faced by many countries has increased the demand for fossil fuels in the short term, in the long run, new energy, especially clean energy, is still the key to solving human energy problems. It is estimated that the global energy demand will increase by about 1% every year from now to 2030, and the increment will be almost filled by renewable energy. The proportion of fossil energy in the global energy structure may decline from 80% at present to 75% in 2030 and to about 60% in 2050. At present, more and more countries and regions have formulated renewable energy development goals and plans to accelerate energy transformation. According to the plan of the French government, the proportion of renewable energy power generation in France will increase to 40% by 2030; By 2050, the installed capacity of solar power in France will increase 10 times and 50 offshore wind farms will be built. The latest version of Japan's basic energy plan proposes that the proportion of renewable energy power generation will increase to 36% to 38% by 2030. Egypt's 2035 Comprehensive Sustainable Energy Strategy proposes that the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation will reach 43 GW by 2035. The report predicts that in the next five years, the new installed capacity of renewable energy in Europe is expected to double the increase in the last five years, and the increase in China will account for nearly half of the global increase. "Governments have actively promoted the implementation of renewable energy policies and plans and accelerated structural changes in the energy economy." International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said. In addition, the supply chain of some key equipment and technologies, including batteries, solar photovoltaic and electrolytic cells, is expanding rapidly, which accelerates the development of renewable energy. Taking solar power generation as an example, the price of solar panels has dropped by 80% in the past 10 years, which has become an affordable power generation technology and will provide more than 3% of global power generation in 2021. The International Energy Agency predicts that by 2030, the newly added photovoltaic installed capacity in the world will reach 650 GW. The vigorous development of clean energy industry will bring a lot of employment opportunities and promote economic growth. The report Renewable Energy and Employment: Review of 2022 released by the International Renewable Energy Agency shows that in 2021, the number of renewable energy related jobs in the world will reach 12.7 million, an increase of 700000 in a year. By 2030, the annual investment in global clean energy is expected to exceed US $2 trillion, an increase of more than 50% over the current level, and is expected to create more jobs and investment opportunities. Fatih Birol called on all countries to adopt stronger policies to increase investment in renewable energy and strive to achieve the goal of zero net global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. He said: "At present, the world is at a critical stage of energy transformation, and the response measures taken by countries will enable the global energy industry to become cleaner and more affordable
