A wave of development of world clean energy hits

Clean energy refers to energy that does not produce harmful substances or emit pollutants during production and use, including hydropower, nuclear power, wind energy, solar energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, and ocean energy. Clean energy is mostly converted to electricity for use. .

According to the statistics of the International Energy Agency, fossil energy is still the main energy source for energy consumption in the world today, and the proportion of clean energy is relatively small. According to the thermal equivalent method, in the world's major developed countries in 2008, the proportion of clean energy use in the United States, Japan, and Germany was 15.7%, 17.7%, and 21.1%, respectively. France has become a clean country in global energy consumption because of the high proportion of installed nuclear power. The countries with the highest proportion of energy use accounted for 49.2% of primary energy consumption.

In recent years, the overall installed capacity of clean energy power generation in China has shown rapid development. According to statistics, as of the end of 2009, China’s installed capacity for clean energy power generation accounted for approximately 25.4% of total installed capacity, of which hydropower was 196.29 million kilowatts, wind power was 17.6 million kilowatts, and nuclear power was 9.08 million kilowatts; according to the coal consumption method, non-fossil energy consumption in China accounted for The proportion of total primary energy consumption is about 8.9%.

The world is launching a wave of clean energy development. Major energy-consuming countries have adopted clean energy as an important way to stimulate economic growth, drive the industry, ensure energy security, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The United States and the European Union have proposed medium and long-term renewable energy sources. development Goals. China is planning to construct 8 million kilowatts of wind power bases. Nuclear power in the eastern and central regions and large-scale hydropower in the southwest region will continue to accelerate development. In the future, large-scale solar power generation bases will be built in the northwest region.
