据今日油价5月6日报道，国际能源署(IEA)执行主任法提赫·比罗尔表示，第19次全球变暖造成的石油行业动荡，为各国政府提供了一个绝佳的机会，将绿色能源作为就业来源，同时也为实现气候目标服务。

比罗尔在接受路透社采访时表示，不仅太阳能和风能等成熟技术应该得到发展，锂离子电池和电解水制氢技术也应该得到补贴和政策支持。

锂离子电池除了是电动汽车和电子设备的核心外，在太阳能和风力发电场中也越来越重要，它可以储存能量。

国际能源署在最近的一份报告中称:“锂离子电池现在是更广泛能源领域的技术机遇，不局限于运输领域，且有必要进一步扩大制造能力。假设全球汽车工业宣布的电动汽车生产目标能够实现，那么到2025年，全球将需要大约1000千兆瓦时的电池制造能力。这个产量相当于50个规模相当于特斯拉超级工厂的产能。”

电解槽是一种利用电能将水分解成氢和氧的装置，被认为是从低碳电力中生产清洁氢的一种方法，正朝着使其成为大众运输、航运、航空、长途卡车、钢铁和化工产品的可行选择的方向发展。

在全球范围内，人们对开发生产和储存可再生能源的有效解决方案越来越感兴趣。以至于在2019年，绿色能源有史以来第一次取代煤炭成为发电能源。

IEA数据显示，从总体上看，2019年化石燃料产量下降了245太瓦时，而可再生能源产量在2018年至2019年期间增长了119太瓦时。不过，在比罗尔看来，因为不仅其产品将在未来数年内使用，而且还因为许多此类石化产品，如消毒剂等在重要时期起着关键作用。

IEA Chief Calls For Boost To Battery And Hydrogen Technology

The executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, said that the turmoil in the oil sector caused by the covid-19 pandemic gives governments the perfect opportunity to embrace green energy as a source of jobs that also serves climate goals.

In an interview with Reuters, Birol said that not only well-established technologies, such as those behind solar and wind generation should receive a boost, but also lithium-ion batteries and the use of electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water should be candidates for subsidies and policy support.

Besides being the backbone of electric vehicles and electronic devices, li-ion batteries are becoming more and more important in solar and wind farms to store energy when nature is not doing its part.

“Lithium-ion batteries are now a technology opportunity for the wider energy sector, well beyond just transport,” a recent report by the IEA states. “There is a need for manufacturing capacity to grow further. Assuming that the global auto industry’s announced targets for electric vehicle production are met despite the covid-19 crisis, around 1,000 GWh of battery manufacturing capacity would be needed in 2025. This output would require the equivalent of 50 plants, each on the scale of a Tesla Gigafactory.”

When it comes to electrolysers, which are devices that split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical energy and are considered a way to produce clean hydrogen from low-carbon electricity, research is moving towards making them a viable option for the mass transportation, shipping, aviation, long-haul trucks, the iron and steel and chemical industries.

Globally, there is growing interest in the development of efficient solutions to produce and store renewable energy. So much so that, for the first time ever, green power overtook coal as a source of electricity generation in 2019.

Figures from the IEA itself show that, overall, fossil fuels dropped by 245 TWh last year, while renewables production rose by 119 TWh from 2018 to 2019.

In Birol’s view, however, the oil sector should not be demonized as not only its products are to be used for years to come but also because many of such petrochemical products, such as sanitizers, have proven to be important in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
