????數(shù)千塊在陽(yáng)光下閃閃發(fā)光的太陽(yáng)能電池板延伸到新加坡的近海區(qū)，這是這個(gè)土地稀缺的國(guó)家推動(dòng)建造浮式太陽(yáng)能電場(chǎng)以減少溫室氣體排放的一部分。

????該國(guó)可能是世界上最小的國(guó)家之一，但這個(gè)繁榮的金融中心卻是亞洲人均二氧化碳排放量最大的國(guó)家之一。

????盡管有關(guān)部門一直在推動(dòng)改變這一現(xiàn)狀，但在一個(gè)沒有河流用于水力發(fā)電、風(fēng)力不足以驅(qū)動(dòng)渦輪機(jī)的國(guó)家，可再生能源仍是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。

????因此，這個(gè)熱帶國(guó)家轉(zhuǎn)向了太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電——然而，由于國(guó)土面積只有洛杉磯的一半，其已求助于在沿海和儲(chǔ)蓄庫(kù)上建立能源工廠。

????Space-starved Singapore builds floating solar farms

????With little land, it has resorted to setting up energy plants off its coasts and reservoirs as part of its ‘green plan’

????Thousands of panels glinting in the sun stretch into the sea off Singapore, part of the land-scarce city-state’s push to build floating solar farms to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

????It may be one of the world’s smallest countries, but the prosperous financial hub is among the biggest per capita carbon dioxide emitters in Asia.

????And while authorities have been pushing to change that, renewable energy is a challenge in a country with no rivers for hydro-electricity and where the wind is not strong enough to power turbines.

????So the tropical country turned to solar power—however, with little land space in a place half the size of Los Angeles, it has resorted to setting up energy plants off its coasts and on reservoirs.

????“After exhausting the rooftops and the available land, which is very scarce, the next big potential is actually our water area,” said Jen Tan, senior vice-president and head of solar in Southeast Asia at conglomerate Sembcorp Industries, which is building a project.

????An island-state threatened by rising sea levels because of climate change, Singapore is aware of the urgency of cutting emissions, although critics say authorities’ environmental commitments have thus far fallen short.

????The government last month unveiled a wide-ranging “green plan” that included steps such as planting more trees, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and building more charging points to encourage the use of electric cars.
