Global energy revolution will lead to low carbonization

International Energy Agency pointed out that the world in renewable energy power generation (wind, solar, etc.) investment in 2008 reached 112 billion U.S. dollars the maximum; despite the global economic recession, but still maintain the original 2009 level of investment. Many large automobile companies are making hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles, and many countries to encourage consumers to buy such products for the growing new energy vehicle manufacturers to provide the market. In the next 10 years, there may be 5 million such vehicles on the road in various countries.
The IEA also noted that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries, the annual rate of efficiency improvement of up to 2%, which is the last century, more than twice the 90's. In the low-carbon technology research, development and demonstration of the funds between 2005 and 2008 increased by 1 / 3, reversing the 80 years since the last century, the decline in the situation. IEA partner countries and other economic organizations are working, planning to double investment in 2015.
"World Energy Outlook 2010" that if efforts fail to address climate change, then all of the above efforts will be wasted; Now the new energy development is not complete is fragile, to stop global warming is not enough.
"What we need is rapid, large-scale low-carbon technology; we need to achieve in the energy sector 'to carbon', cut off economic development and the historic links between carbon dioxide emissions, start a new era of electrification." Nobuo Tanaka said. "To note that there are 1.5 billion people worldwide do not have electricity, we must speed up the electrification process."
