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.
全球发电仍然主要依赖煤炭和天然气。但是，该行业在2023年的增长率与风能和太阳能的增长率并不接近。
That's according to the latest Global Electricity Review, published May 9 by UK-based climate think tank Ember.
这是根据总部位于英国的气候智库Ember于5月9日发布的最新《全球电力评论》得出的。
Fossil fuel generation will fall in 2024 and subsequent years, the nonprofit predicts.
该非营利组织预测，化石燃料的发电量将在2024年及以后几年下降。
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，太阳能的采用率——2023年连续第19年增长最快的电力来源——将继续加速。
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.
根据Ember的数据，太阳能发电的增长超过23％，远远超过化石发电（0.8％的增长）和风能（10％）的新发电。见下文。
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.
结果对地球来说是个好兆头。美国宇航局预测，在未来几十年内，地球的全球平均温度将达到或超过3华氏度。
"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."
该机构说：“这些变化将影响地球的所有区域。”“气候变化造成的影响的严重程度将取决于未来人类活动的路径。”
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，各国正在缓慢但肯定地采用清洁能源。2000年，可再生能源（即太阳能和风能）占全球能源结构的不到19％。如今，它们占30％以上。

About 40% of the world's electricity was derived from low-carbon sources, including nuclear energy, in 2023.
2023 年，全球约 40% 的电力来自包括核能在内的低碳能源。
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.
化石燃料呈下降趋势。Ember报告称，早在2000年，它们就产生了全球能源的64.7％；2023年为60.6％；预计到2024年将产生57.6％的能量。
The International Energy Agency's Net Zero Emissions goal has a global target of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.
国际能源署的净零排放目标是到2030年实现60％的可再生电力。
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.
值得关注的ETF：今年迄今为止，Global X Solar ETF（纳斯达克股票代码：RAYS）和景顺太阳能ETF（纽约证券交易所代码：TAN）分别下跌了13.15％和18.19％。
