據阿納多盧新聞4月24日消息稱,總部位于倫敦的智庫Carbon Tracker上周五發布的一份新報告稱,過去幾年,太陽能和風能的成本大幅下降,開啟了一種能源儲備,以目前的技術,這些能源可以滿足全球100倍的需求,而且與化石燃料相比,大多數能源已經很經濟。
這份題為《天空的極限》的報告發現,自2010年以來,太陽能的成本每年平均下降18%,這極大地釋放了太陽能的經濟潛力。在這個規模下,太陽能的發展速度比以往任何一種能源技術都要快,在過去10年里,平均每年增長39%,每兩年幾乎增加一倍的產能。
風能的發展軌跡與此類似,在過去十年中,風能的產能每年增長17%。
以目前的技術,全世界每年僅從太陽能中就有可能捕獲超過580萬太瓦時的電力,而從陸地和海上風能中則有90萬太瓦時的電力。
報告稱,該國每年總發電潛力為6700萬太瓦時,已經是2019年全球6.5萬億千瓦時能源消耗的100倍。
然而,全世界只使用了0.01%的太陽能和0.16%的風能。
-到2050年,化石電力將成為歷史
報告稱,隨著成本下降推動效率和進步,如更好的電池板和更高的渦輪機,從而進一步降低成本,金融市場正在意識到這一機遇。
報告稱,去年,清潔能源公司通過公開募股籌集的資金首次超過化石燃料公司。

Solar, wind can meet world energy demand 100 times over
Huge declines in the cost of solar and wind power over the last years unlocked an energy reserve that can meet world demand 100 times over with the current technology and most is already economic compared to fossil fuels, according to London-based think-tank Carbon Tracker's new report published Friday.
The report, entitled The Sky's the Limit, found that the solar power's economic potential has been unleashed by a dramatic drop in costs by an average of 18% every year since 2010. The solar power is growing faster than any previous energy technology at this size with an average annual rise of 39% in the last decade by nearly doubling capacity every 2 years.
Wind, following a similar trajectory, saw annually 17% capacity increase over the last decade.
The world has the potential to capture more than 5,8 million terawvatthours of electricity annually from solar alone while 900,000 teravathours from onshore and offshore wind with the current technology.
The total potential to generate 6,7 million terawatthours of electricity annually is already 100 times over the world's 65,000 terawatthours of energy consumption in 2019, the report said.
However, the world uses only 0.01% of the potential of solar and 0.16% of wind energy.
- Fossil electricity to be a thing of past by 2050
As the falling costs are driving efficiencies and advances such as better panels and higher turbines which reduce costs further, financial markets are waking up to the opportunity, said in the report.
Last year, clean energy companies raised more money through public offerings than fossil fuel companies for the first time, the report said.
