国际海洋可再生能源行动联盟成立

1月13日Trend报道，挪威Equinor公司表示，国际海洋可再生能源行动联盟已经成立，以促进基于海洋的可再生能源的可持续利用，并减轻气候变化的有害影响。

行动联盟将把民间社会、政府间机构和工业界聚集在一起，代表海上风能部门参加气候行动全球对话。将由Ørsted及Equinor牵头，其他成员包括:CWind、Global Marine group、JERA、MHI Vestas、风能和太阳能发电站开发商Mainstream Renewable Power、壳牌、西门子Gamesa、TenneT和Crown Estate。

该行动联盟是应可持续海洋经济高级别小组于2019年9月提出的以海洋为基础的气候行动的呼吁而成立的，其他合作伙伴包括全球风能理事会和联合国全球契约。

行动联盟将制定2050年远景，强调工业、金融家和政府可采取的行动，以可持续地扩大海上风力发电，从而为联合国可持续发展目标和全球脱碳目标作出贡献。初步产出将于2020年6月在里斯本举行的联合国海洋会议上宣布。

Equinor表示，在最初少数国家的推动下，海上风力发电目前正处于成本大幅降低的发展道路上。据该公司表示，它有能力大规模生产清洁能源，着将是实现能源转型和支持可持续未来的关键技术。

International Ocean Renewable Energy Action Coalition set up

An international Ocean Renewable Energy Action Coalition has been formed to advance sustainable deployment of ocean-based renewable energy and mitigate the harmful impacts of climate change, Trend reports citing Norway’s Equinor company.

Bringing together civil society, intergovernmental institutions and industry, the Action Coalition will represent the offshore wind sector in the global dialogue on climate action. It will be spearheaded by Ørsted and Equinor. The group also includes: CWind, Global Marine Group, JERA, MHI Vestas, Mainstream Renewable Power, Shell, Siemens Gamesa, TenneT and The Crown Estate.

The Action Coalition was formed in response to the September 2019 Call for Ocean-based Climate Action made by the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, with additional partners including Global Wind Energy Council and the UN Global Compact.

The Action Coalition will prepare a vision for 2050, highlighting the actions that industry, financiers and governments can take to sustainably scale-up offshore wind, and thereby contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and global decarbonization goals. Initial outputs will be announced at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon in June 2020.

Equinor said that driven by a small number of ries initially, offshore wind is now on a spectacular cost reduction path. It is capable of producing clean energy at tremendous scale and will be a key technology to enable the energy transition and to support a sustainable future, according to the company.
