石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据1月9日Trade Arabia阿布扎比报道，加拿大今天(1月9日)正式成为国际可再生能源署(Irena)的成员。 它是第160个加入致力于广泛采用可再生能源的全球政府间组织的成员国。 Irena在一份声明中表示，可再生能源占该国发电总量的三分之二，占最终能源供应总量的20%以下，这在很大程度上要归功于大量的水电资源，这使得该国成为全球第二大水电生产国。 加拿大的可再生能源发电量从2009年的78千兆瓦增加到2017年的99千兆瓦。除了丰富的水力资源外，加拿大还有巨大的风能、生物质能源、太阳能、海洋能和地热能潜力。例如，今天，风能占加拿大发电量的5%。 加拿大的成员资格是在Irena第九次也是最大的一次会议前夕提出的。预计120多名部长将与来自150个国家的1200名代表一道，在阿布扎比加速部署可持续能源。 加拿大自然资源部长Amarjeet Sohi表示:“绿色经济的增长是加拿大一代人以来最大的经济机遇之一。” 他说:“成为Irena的成员将加快加拿大建设清洁能源未来的努力，这将带来新的经济增长和成千上万个新的高薪工作。” 总干事Adnan Z. Amin说:“我们很高兴欢迎加拿大成为Irena的新成员。” 他说:“加拿大拥有巨大的可再生能源潜力和长期的低碳发展经验，可以通过国际合作分享这些经验。” Amin说:“我们期待着与加拿大政府、私营部门和研究机构合作，推进能源转型。” 他补充称:“加拿大的成员国坚定地突显了它在可再生能源技术、可持续发展和全球能源脱碳方面的领导地位。” 孔丽炜 摘译自Trade Arabia 原文如下： Canada has today (January 9) officially become a member of the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). It is the 160th member to join the global intergovernmental organisation dedicated to the widespread adoption of renewable energy. Renewable energy accounts for two-thirds of the country’s power generation and just under 20 per cent of its total final energy supply thanks largely to significant hydropower resources, which make it the second largest producer of hydropower in the world, said a statement from Irena. Renewable power generation in Canada increased from 78 gigawatts (GW) in 2009 to 99 GW in 2017. In addition to plentiful hydro resources, Canada also has significant wind, biomass, solar, marine and geothermal energy potential. For example, today, wind accounts for 5 per cent of electricity generation in Canada. Canada’s membership comes on the eve of Irena’s ninth and largest assembly. More than 120 ministers are expected to join 1,200 delegates from150 countries in Abu Dhabi, to accelerate the deployment of sustainable sources of energy. “The growing green economy is among the greatest economic opportunities for Canada in a generation,” said Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources. “Becoming an Irena member will accelerate Canada’s efforts to build a clean energy future which will bring new economic growth and thousands of new, well-paying jobs,” he stated. “We are delighted to welcome Canada as a new member of the Irena family,” said Director-General Adnan Z. Amin. “Canada has vast renewable energy resource potential and long-standing experience in low-carbon development that it can share through international cooperation,” he noted. “We look forward to working with the Canadian government as well as the private sector and research institutions to advance energy transformation,” said Amin. “Canada’s membership firmly underscores the leadership it can demonstrate in renewable energy technology, sustainable development and global energy de-carbonisation,” he added.
