Solar Is Leaving Wind In The Dust As World Renewable Energy Hits New High
Solar Is Leaving Wind In The Dust As World Renewable Energy Hits New High
Global electricity generation still relies, mostly, on coal and gas. However, the sector's growth rate in 2023 wasn't close to that of wind and solar.
全球發電仍然主要依賴煤炭和天然氣。但是，該行業在2023年的增長率與風能和太陽能的增長率並不接近。
That's according to the latest Global Electricity Review, published May 9 by UK-based climate think tank Ember.
這是根據總部位於英國的氣候智庫Ember於5月9日發佈的最新《全球電力評論》得出的。
Fossil fuel generation will fall in 2024 and subsequent years, the nonprofit predicts.
該非營利組織預測，化石燃料的發電量將在2024年及以後幾年下降。
Whereas, the rate of solar adoption — the fastest-growing source of electricity in 2023 for the 19th year in a row — will continue to accelerate.
然而，太陽能的採用率——2023年連續第19年增長最快的電力來源——將繼續加速。
Per Ember's data, solar generation growth was more than 23%, far more than new electricity from fossil (0.8% growth) and wind (10%). See below.
根據Ember的數據，太陽能發電的增長超過23％，遠遠超過化石發電（0.8％的增長）和風能（10％）的新發電。見下文。
The results bode well for the planet. NASA predicts Earth will see the global average temperature reach or exceed 3 degrees Fahrenheit within the next few decades.
結果對地球來說是個好兆頭。美國宇航局預測，在未來幾十年內，地球的全球平均溫度將達到或超過3華氏度。
"These changes will affect all regions of Earth," the agency says. "The severity of effects caused by climate change will depend on the path of future human activities."
該機構說：“這些變化將影響地球的所有區域。”“氣候變化造成的影響的嚴重程度將取決於未來人類活動的路徑。”
Well, countries are slowly, but surely, adopting clean energy. In 2000, renewable energy (i.e. solar and wind) made up less than 19% of the global energy mix. Today, they make up more than 30%.
好吧，各國正在緩慢但肯定地採用清潔能源。2000年，可再生能源（即太陽能和風能）佔全球能源結構的不到19％。如今，它們佔30％以上。

About 40% of the world's electricity was derived from low-carbon sources, including nuclear energy, in 2023.
2023 年，全球約 40% 的電力來自包括核能在內的低碳能源。
Fossil fuels are on the decline. They generated 64.7% of the world's energy back in 2000; 60.6% in 2023; and are projected to generate 57.6% in 2024, Ember reports.
化石燃料呈下降趨勢。Ember報告稱，早在2000年，它們就產生了全球能源的64.7％；2023年爲60.6％；預計到2024年將產生57.6％的能量。
The International Energy Agency's Net Zero Emissions goal has a global target of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.
國際能源署的淨零排放目標是到2030年實現60％的可再生電力。
ETFs To Watch: Global X Solar ETF (NASDAQ:RAYS) and Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:TAN) are down 13.15% and 18.19%, respectively, year-to-date.
值得關注的ETF：今年迄今爲止，Global X Solar ETF（納斯達克股票代碼：RAYS）和景順太陽能ETF（紐約證券交易所代碼：TAN）分別下跌了13.15％和18.19％。
