This year in October, the World Renewable Energy Committee Chairman, Dr. Wolfgang Paltz once again invited to attend the Beijing "2009 China International Energy Forum," Omnibook XE3 and delivered the keynote address. After an interview with the always concerned about China's renewable energy development in the world's energy experts.


■ Debate too fast --


China's renewable energy development is not too fast, and impressive, and vigorously promote renewable energy development is a wise move, and the only way.


Reporter: Dr. Hello. Thank you for your many years of the world's renewable energy sector and the enormous contribution made by China's sustained attention. I ask, do you think the status of China's renewable energy standard in the world is in what position?


Dr. Paltz: China's renewable energy capacity for F2024A development is enormous. China has become the world's second largest country in installed capacity of wind power, solar cell manufacturing superpower, solar energy heat utilization, mainly the use of solar water heaters and the annual account for more than half of the world's total, ranking first in the world. In the wind energy field, China wind power capacity added this year is expected to rank first in the world. In fact, some statistics have indicated that China's wind power, solar photovoltaic cells, small hydropower and other strengths are in the world.


With wind energy, for example, the world's leading wind energy advisory body - the Danish consulting firm BTM said at the end of this year, the world will produce 150 billion wind energy W, of which 22 million KW from China. By 2017, global wind power output to 700 million KW, and China by 2020, wind power output 100 million KW. Obviously, that time, production is likely to need more than the forecast. Because the current growth is so impressive, the growth rate even reached 100%, and thereafter can not be reduced F2024B to zero.


Of course, the field of renewable energy is not the only wind power. In the "2009 China International Energy Forum", I heard a very exciting lecture on small hydroelectric power stations. There are currently 300 million people rely on this power, China ranked first in the world. The small hydropower, apart from the Three Gorges water conservancy stations that large-scale water conservancy projects, China's entire territory for the balanced development is a very important form. Its development should not be confined in large cities. China's small hydropower as to promote throughout development has brought outstanding results to the world has set a good example.


In general, first of all, the rapid development of China's renewable energy and success. In wind, solar photovoltaic in China as the world's forefront. China can also provide many of the world economy, the price excellent renewable energy products, as well as some lower cost, but the quality is excellent, very competitive Omnibook XE technology.


Secondly, we have in the EU set a goal: By 2020, electricity generation from renewable energy capacity to account for 40% of the total generating capacity, we are now the ratio is 20%. That is a 10-year period, renewable energy generating capacity should double. This does not include nuclear power in Europe. And China, the development of renewable energy has created a miracle. China has done very well, with a good starting point. I think in the future, China may have to do better than in Europe.


Reporter: Renewable energy in the future society will be necessary for energy, and play an increasingly important role, which has become the consensus. But at present the field of renewable energy in China is developing rapidly, it was described that as being stepped on the accelerator. You agree with this view? Is not, as some people have said, this "too fast" development will lead to the risk of overcapacity?


Paltz Dr.: I totally do not agree with this view. With wind energy, for example, in the past three years, China has doubled every year. Some people think that "I have never seen a technology that could be so high-speed development, we should implement some of their control." F1739A I think the only problem is that in the development of wind energy at the same time easy to set up high-voltage transmission grid to transport wind energy, for example, from Inner Mongolia to the east coast. But now do not have enough high-voltage transmission networks. China is now up to 100 million KW per year of electricity output, which means that China will require enormous effort to build a grid system to the effective delivery and use of these energy sources.


It is noteworthy that, due to cost, it is now no right to use wind power to give adequate attention remains focused on priority construction of traditional coal-fired power plants. This is a problem. Although China's wind power development is still faced grid and technical problems such as bottlenecks, but we can foresee the future of wind power industry will have a more rapid development.


China should expand the use of wind energy. Because the energy consumption of China as a big country needs the energy. Pollution-free wind energy, and pure production in the territory of more than the cost of development of nuclear energy should be much lower. The question now is the construction of power grid system. The development of wind power is already fast enough, and now need to improve the problem is that the construction of wind power systems.


China this year is expected to increase 10 million KW of wind power, for the first time in the world primacy. Living in the United States second, OmniBook 6000 are expected 600-7000000 KW. We believe that as China's economic development as the development of wind energy is still in high-speed track speeding.


■ according to local conditions --


Renewable energy development as well as "people-oriented", China should be taking into account specific national conditions and actual conditions to develop and implement a scientific and rational, workable renewable energy development plan.


Reporter: China's large population, huge energy consumption. Renewable energy can meet the huge demand for energy in Chinese society? Do you think China's development of various types of renewable energy What are the advantages and disadvantaged?


Dr. Paltz: China's renewable energy development can fully meet the energy needs of F2019B Chinese society.


China's wind energy is developing rapidly attracted worldwide attention. Official data show that the total now has reached 12 million KW, estimated that by 2020, China will have to build capacity is estimated to reach more than 100 million KW.


China's hydropower resources, is also among the highest in the world. 2008 has been the development of power generation capacity is 172 million KW. In addition to large-scale water projects supported by the State, small-scale hydropower development on China's civil society is also very impressive.


China is one of the largest solar energy production. Solar water heaters used in the area is very common in China, the world second to none. But compared to China's vast territory, rich in solar energy, and now solar energy output is relatively small. Therefore, in solar energy development has great potential. China is now producing solar power are related to private enterprises, the State Government's support for less. However, private enterprises in this regard has been done a terrific job.


Many people think that in the future may compete with the oil and gas major renewable energy is biomass fuels, so strongly appeal to the Chinese F2019A bio-energy development. But they are easy to ignore a problem, there must be room to collect the development of biomass fuel materials. China because of the burden of carrying huge population, agricultural development must be given priority. Because we can not for the production of motor fuel and let some people go hungry. In any case, agriculture should be security, food reserves should be given priority.


Brazil is the world's largest ethanol producer and exporter. Land area, population is relatively small, and the government throw its weight behind the development of bio-fuels for them provided a good atmosphere. But in fact, we need to note that, in Brazil, only 1% of the area of agriculture for bio-fuels. Only 1%, rather than the entire country. So, I think you can within a certain region in China, the development of bio-energy, because China is not all areas are densely populated areas. However, we must ensure that the development of biofuels should not compete with food production. Last year, President Lula of Brazil came to China, with Chinese leaders on fuel ethanol imports from Brazil, the agreement was discussed.


In short, the vigorous development of renewable energy will allow China to become the world's most competitive countries.


Reporter: China's wind power generation regions are mostly concentrated in the F2019 economically less developed areas, such as China's north-west and north. Then we should be how effectively these can be used for energy consumption and large production capacity, the more economically developed regions?


Dr. Paltz: should strengthen the construction of wind power high-voltage transmission grid. The first is cost. In fact, China power grid construction, a lot of investment. China's production capacity this year, 100 billion W, but only 10 million KW was from wind. China is still a lot of energy investments for the construction of coal-fired power plants, because coal is still the main part of energy consumption in Chinese society.


Another issue is the use of wind energy technology. Because wind energy is not the law, its power sometimes up, sometimes down, while the usual habits of the people is stable energy resources. In Germany, people have succeeded in making wind stability. Thus, only about technical issues can be solved completely. Parts of Germany, 40% of its energy from wind. While Germany's land area is much smaller than China, but China's wind energy resources are far from rich. In addition, many wind power plants are not connected to a network, this also affected the use of wind energy Omnibook XT1500.
