DQZHAN訊：丹麥2019年風力發電占比47%
據路透社1月2日哥本哈根報道，丹麥去年近一半的電力消耗來自風力發電，創下了新的記錄，這得益于成本的大幅下降和離岸技術的改進。
丹麥電網運營商Energinet周四援引初步數據稱，風能占2019年丹麥電力使用量的47%，高于2018年的41%，打破了2017年43%的紀錄。
歐洲國家在風能利用方面處于全球優越地位，但丹麥遠遠優越于*接近的競爭對手愛爾蘭。行業組織WindEurope的數據顯示，2018年，愛爾蘭28%的電力來自風能。
該組織表示，在整個歐盟，風能占去年總電力消耗量的14％。
丹麥去年風能所占比例較高，部分原因在于瑞典跨國電力公司Vattenfall于8月在北海的Horns Rev 3海上風電場開始運營。
Energinet表示，海上風力渦輪機發電的比例從2018年的14%上升到去年的18%。去年，陸上風能占29%。
國際能源署(IEA)在10月份表示，雖然海上風力渦輪機的發電量只占當今全球發電量的0.3%，但未來20年的發電量有望增加15倍。
丹麥的目標是到2030年減少70%的溫室氣體排放，去年年底通過的一項新的氣候法旨在將可再生能源發電份額提高到100%。
丹麥是風力渦輪機巨頭維斯塔斯(Vestas)的故鄉，也是全球*大的海上風能開發商沃旭能源(Orsted)的所在地。

Denmark sources record 47% of power from wind in 2019
Denmark sourced almost half its electricity consumption from wind power last year, a new record boosted by steep cost reductions and improved offshore technology.
Wind aced for 47% of Denmark’s power usage in 2019, the ry’s grid operator Energinet said on Thursday citing preliminary data, up from 41% in 2018 and topping the previous record of 43% in 2017.
European ries are global leaders in utilising wind power but Denmark is far in front of nearest rival Ireland, which sourced 28% of its power from wind in 2018 according to data from industry group WindEurope.
Across the European Union, wind aced for 14% of consumption last year, the group says.
The higher proportion of wind energy in Denmark last year was partly due to Vattenfall [VATN.UL] starting operations at the Horns Rev 3 offshore wind farm in the North Sea in August.
The share of power from wind turbines at sea increased to 18% last year from 14% in 2018, Energinet said. Onshore wind aced for 29% last year.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said in October that while power generated from wind turbines at sea only acs for 0.3% of today’s global electricity generation, capacity is set to increase 15-fold over the next two decades.
Denmark aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030, with a new climate law passed late last year targeting an increase in the share of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.
Denmark, home to wind turbine giant Vestas (VWS.CO) and the world’s largest developer of offshore wind Orsted (ORSTED.CO), has favourable wind conditions and began investing heavily in wind power in the 1970s.
