Clean Energy Is the pollutant emission of energy, including nuclear energy and the "renewable energy", renewable energy is the raw material can be regenerated energy, such as hydropower, wind power, solar, biomass energy (biogas), tidal energy, renewable energy energy depletion may not exist, so more attention by many countries, especially in energy-deficit countries
As the world's growing energy demand and increasing environmental protection, clean energy, promote the application has become an inevitable trend. Experts predict that, due to natural gas combined-cycle power generation with high efficiency, flexible operation, less investment and construction time is short and other advantages, the power generation fuel accounts for the proportion of the world, from 19% in 2003 to 22% in 2030. 2003 to 2030, gas power generation capacity will increase by 1.07 billion kilowatts, the proportion of total global power generation capacity from 27% to 33%. Enhance the momentum of nuclear power development is also presented. Looking ahead, from 2003 to 2030, the international nuclear power installed capacity to 361 million kilowatts from 438 million kilowatts. Among them, China, India and Russia, the largest increase in installed capacity of nuclear power. World nuclear generating capacity from 2.5 trillion kwh in 2003, to 3.3 trillion kwh in 2030. Hydropower and Other Are expected to increase clean energy generation. By 2030, the network of water and other clean energy generation capacity than 553 million kilowatts in 2003. Among these, the majority of growth came from Asian countries, large-scale hydropower. China will be the largest increase in water, India, Laos and Vietnam are developing hydropower projects. And by high oil prices and other factors, fuel power generation accounted for the proportion of the world from 2003 to 10% to 7% in 2030.
According to New Energy Finance to the latest data show the first quarter of this year, total global investment in clean energy reached 27.3 billion U.S. dollars, 20.8 billion U.S. dollars over the same period last year grew 31%, but below last year's 31.6 billion U.S. dollars in the fourth quarter total investment. Among them, a quarter of the new global energy investment of the most powerful countries of China, the investment industry as the strongest wind.
It is noteworthy that the first time in China in 2009 surpassed the United States to 34.6 billion U.S. dollars in the scale of a global clean energy sector to attract investment and financing than any other country. United States and Britain challenged the traditional leadership, they were ranked 23, the scale of 18.6 billion U.S. dollars and 112 billion dollars. China's size is greater than the sum of the two.
U.S. Energy Secretary, said Steven Chu, "The Chinese government's investment in clean energy is the amount of eyebrows." Steven Chu of Stanford University, recently highlighted in a speech. He believes that competition in the development of clean energy, the United States is gradually "backward." Pew report, with China as the main, clean energy investment in Asia last year rose 37%, reaching 39 billion U.S. dollars. In contrast, the United States due to economic slowdown, credit crunch, investment dropped 33% last year. The report's project director Phyllis? Has posted a warning that unless the United States to change policies to encourage more investment, or it may miss the clean energy industry as "leader" of the opportunity.
CEC leading experts predict that by the end of 2010, China's power generation capacity at 950 million kilowatts, of which 700 million kilowatts of thermal power, hydropower 210 million kilowatts, 10.16 million kilowatts of nuclear power, and net 30 million kilowatts of wind power, clean energy the proportion of the total installed power generation capacity is expected to reach 26%, compared with 2009 has increased.
