據能源經濟8月4日消息稱，今年上半年，投資者向可再生能源投入了比以往任何時候都多的資金，但這一速度遠遠不足以遏制不斷增加的碳排放。
根據彭博社的數據，在此期間，多達1740億美元用于太陽能、海上風能和其他綠色技術和公司。雖然較上年同期增長1.8%，但較前六個月下降了7%。
這一小幅增長表明，盡管今年大宗商品價格飆升導致成本上升，但該行業仍在領導應對氣候變化的斗爭。然而，這遠遠低于各國和企業在未來幾十年達到限制排放目標所需要的水平。
BNEF 分析主管 Albert Cheung 表示：“可再生能源投資經受住了全球疫情的影響，相比之下，能源經濟的其他領域出現了前所未有的波動。然而，1.8%的同比增長并不是什么值得稱道的。如果我們要走上實現全球凈零的軌道，就需要立即加速提供資金?！?/p>
上半年在公開市場上募集的新資金達到創紀錄的282億美元，比去年同期增長了五倍以上，這推動了增長。風險資本和私募股權對可再生能源公司的投資承諾也有所增加。
今年上半年，太陽能項目投資增長9%，達到創紀錄的789億美元。
然而，風電項目投資下降到580億美元，與去年同期相比下降了30%以上。

Renewable energy investment rose to a record in first half
Investors poured more money than ever into renewable energy in the first half of the year, but the pace is far from enough to sufficiently curb increasing carbon emissions.
As much as $174 billion was spent on solar, offshore wind and other green technologies and companies in the period, according to data from BloombergNEF. While it’s 1.8% more than a year earlier, the level is 7% below the previous six months.
The small increase shows the resilience of the industry leading the fight against climate change despite rising costs because of the surge in commodity prices this year. However, it’s way below what’s needed for nations and companies to reach their targets to limit emissions over the coming decades.
“Renewable energy investment has withstood the effects of the global pandemic, in contrast to other sectors of the energy economy where we have seen unprecedented volatility,” said Albert Cheung, head of analysis at BNEF. “However, a 1.8% year-on-year increase is nothing to write home about. An immediate acceleration in funding is needed if we are to get on track for global net zero.”
The growth was boosted by a record first half for new money raised on public markets, which hit $28.2 billion, up more than fivefold from the same period last year. Commitments to renewable energy companies by venture capital and private equity also rose.
Investment in solar projects was up 9% to a record $78.9 billion in the first half.
However, investment in wind projects fell to $58 billion, down more than 30% compared with the same period last year.
