Global focus on new energy trends

The International Energy Agency recently released the "2012 World Energy Outlook", the report pointed out that the role of renewable energy will become increasingly prominent in the next few decades, by 2035, renewable energy will account for nearly one-third of the world's total electricity generation, including The fastest growth of solar energy. In recent years, more and more countries and governments have begun to plan and implement the development and utilization of renewable energy.

The development of clean energy is an important policy of the Obama administration after its inauguration. In particular, it gives special promotion measures for solar energy and wind energy, and it has various advantages in terms of taxation, guarantees, and financial input. In 2011, U.S. investment in clean energy increased by 42% year-on-year to US$48.1 billion, and continued to occupy a solid leading position.

Solar energy is one of the new energy industries that the United States is making efforts to develop. At present, the United States is increasing its solar power generation. According to the report, at present, it is installation costs and electricity prices that prevent the United States from using solar energy. Solar power generates more than 20% more electricity than traditional energy sources. However, experts predict that in the next five years, most of the U.S. electricity price will become cheaper than the grid price. As the cost of solar panels declines, the production capacity tends to be saturated, so the installation cost will continue to decrease, while at the same time the electricity transportation. The cost is rising. Some experts said that when solar power reaches parity with the grid, it will promote the development of the US solar market, just as a sleeping giant wakes up. In terms of wind energy, according to a report released by the US Department of Energy on August 14, the United States significantly increased its use of wind energy last year. At present, many states in Texas, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and other states have made great progress in wind energy development. Among them, Texas is not only the largest state of wind energy utilization in the United States, but also has The world's largest wind farm covers an area of ​​400 square kilometers.

At the same time, the supply of bio-energy has also increased substantially. Hydropower, wind and solar energy have become an integral part of global energy.
