德国煤炭消费量继续下滑

据今日油价网站11月4日消息 太阳能与氢能研究中心Baden-Württemberg（ZSW）和德国能源与水管理协会（BDEW）的一份新报告显示，2019年前三季度褐煤和烟煤的能源产量比德国可再生能源少50%。

根据文件，煤炭发电量为1250亿千瓦时，低于去年同期的1711亿千瓦时。另一方面，太阳能、风能和其他可再生能源在2019年第一季度至第三季度期间发电量约1830亿千瓦时，占全国总用电量的42.9%，比去年同期增长5%。

报告写道：“值得注意的是，可再生能源的份额在异常多风的3月份攀升至52%。如果第四季度风能和太阳能的收益率与过去几年的平均水平持平，那么2019年可再生能源的份额可能高达42%。”

2018年，可再生能源和煤炭在能源生产中所占份额接近，德国仍是煤炭的第八大消费国。

但德国总理默克尔正在寻求逐步淘汰煤炭，并设定了在2038年前退出燃煤发电的目标。根据政府委托的一份报告的结果，他还提出了到2030年通过可再生能源生产65%德国电力的想法，这样二氧化碳排放量可以比1990年水平降低61%。

German Coal Consumption Continues To Crash

Lignite and bituminous coal produced 50 percent less energy than renewables in Germany during the first three quarters of 2019, a new report by the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the German Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) reveals.

According to the document, coal generated 125 billion kWh, down from the 171.1 billion kWh produced during the same period last year. Solar, wind and other renewable sources, on the other hand, generated around 183 billion kWh of electricity between Q1 and Q3, 2019, which covered 42.9 percent of gross electricity consumption in the country and represented a 5 percent increase over the same period last year.

“Notably, renewables’ share climbed as high as 52 percent during an unusually windy March,” the report reads. “If wind and solar energy yields in the fourth quarter are in line with the last few years’ averages, renewables’ share could amount to a good 42 percent in 2019.”

In 2018, renewables and coal accounted for close to the same share in energy production, with Germany still sitting as the top eighth consumer of the black fuel.

But Chancellor Angela Merkel is on a quest to phase out coal, having set the goal of withdrawing from coal-fired power production by 2038. Based on the results of a government-commissioned report, she also proposed the idea of producing 65 percent of Germany’s electricity through renewable sources by 2030 so that CO2 emissions could be lowered by 61 percent over 1990 levels.
