With the changes
in the environment, green energy has become one of the most important issues in
the world. The CNN reported such a report: World needs green energy and gas to
meet future demand, and statistics at the heart of the world's sustainable development
goals lies one and more statistics: By 2040, we will require at least 25% more
energy than is currently produced to meet the needs of a rapidly growing,
global population.
The report stated:
「Keeping pace with this demand in a way that is both economically
and environmentally sustainable is one of the central challenges of our time
and the good news is that the world has already made
substantial progress over the past five years towards a sustainable energy
future.
Rather than working in competition, renewables
and hydrocarbons are now maximizing the economic productivity of one another.
The more renewables we use, the more hydrocarbons can be diverted to create
higher value products or used to supply the world's growing energy demand.
This integrated model, driven by a compelling
economic case, is what's ultimately driving sustainable development today and
will ensure global energy security for decades to come.
In fact, there's evidence that renewables and
natural gas have already begun to stabilize or reduce carbon emissions in the
world's largest economies -- the U.S. and China -- for the first time in the
industrial age.
U.S. emissions in 2015 were 12% below 2005
levels as a result of the gas/renewable power combination. Conversion to
natural gas has had an equally profound impact on economic growth. In 2015
alone, gas added $190 billion to the US economy, 1.4 million jobs, and $156
billion in disposable income.
In the Gulf region, where there is no shortage
of kilowatt-hours from the sun, we recognize that it makes perfect economic
sense to combine renewable and traditional forms of energy. For over 75 years,
our region has been the leader of the hydrocarbon industry. Today, we are
extending our reach to become a global hub and center of gravity for all forms
of energy.
While oil and gas will remain critical drivers
of the global economy for decades to come, we see the immediate and long-term
advantages of a fully diversified energy mix. This belief lies at the core of
the United Arab Emirates' recently announced 2050 Energy Strategy.
Around the world, we are seeing similar
policies take root and bear fruit, bringing together developed and developing
nations around a single unifying cause: a sustainable energy future.」
The growth of the issue of green energy has
begun to drive the world’s attention to environmental protection. Population
growth, the exhaustion of energy, and the destruction of nature are still
problems that cannot be solved. How can we
improve these issues? Will our younger generation continue to use this
resource, or will it be like a movie to abandon the earth and live after the
universe? What are the trends in the future? This is the answer that the future
will know.
