By 2050 renewable energy will save $160 trillion to the global economy

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: international renewable energy agency ( IRENA） Published this week in 2050, the global energy transformation path diagram, by 2050, renewable energy will help improve the climate change to save $160 trillion to the global economy.

IRENA, said in the face of increasing global emissions, strengthen the electrification and the increase of renewable energy may produce differences, ensure future climate goals. With the development of global and soaring demand for energy, clean and renewable energy has the opportunity to replace fossil fuels and become the main form of electricity generation, this not only helps to reduce carbon emissions, can improve the global social and economic development.

IRENA provide analysis showed that is expected to double by 2050 global demand for energy, and at the same time period the renewable energy can meet 86% of global electricity demand. From the current level, additional energy load bearing will mainly by wind and solar energy device.

in the next 30 years, is one of the most important department of electrification of transportation, in recent years, the improvement of the performance of the battery and battery prices fell rapidly make electric cars ( EV) Revolution possible. At present there are about 5 million electric cars on the road. IRENA is expected, in the case of rapid transformation, including investing heavily in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, 30 years there will be billions of electric cars on the road.

at present, the renewable energy provides one 6 of the world's total final energy consumption. But as renewable energy and electric technology in key areas of rapid popularization, IRENA renewable energy project can provide two-thirds of all the world energy consumption.

so, another key sector is heating of decarburization, most of which are done by natural gas. This requires a combination of strategies: push solar thermal conversion, including the solar energy water heater, and efficient electric heat pump 16 times.

although the outlook, but IRENA warned that to achieve the desired goal, you need to do more work. IRENA director-general Francesco La Camera explained: & other Energy transformation is gaining power, but must continue to speed up the pace, especially the investments they need to further strengthen the momentum of energy transformation. ”

the promote renewable energy does have its advantages, it still exists in the implementation of large-scale development, and all kinds of obstacles. Solar industry in the United States during the past two years, for example, was greatly affected by the tariffs, and Australian lawmakers failed to adhere to national COP21 emissions reduction targets, not only such, although widely condemned by the public, but they continue to open the world's largest open-pit coal mine plan. These relatively common political setbacks, and has reduced the renewable energy sector ability of development and development effectively, and could have a lasting impact on global emissions.

IRENA's report points out that the transformation process is slow, speed does not accord with global climate goals to reduce emissions. The report recommends that countries to take a more positive action to ensure that quickly and efficiently in the transition from fossil fuels, which will help to achieve the previously agreed objectives, and make sure to slow climate change is still a priority. IRENA advocates strengthening national policy, focus on long-term strategy of zero carbon, and promote renewable energy, technology and innovation in the field of smart grid.

in order to regulate the industry, the relevant departments is also set up power battery recycling system, new energy vehicles and running state monitoring and power battery recycling resource integrated management platform. At present, the existing 393 automobile production enterprises, 44 retrieving and dismantling scrapped automobiles companies, 37 arrangement in use and 42 recycling enterprises to join the national platform.
