可再生能源巨頭：中國到底領(lǐng)先了多遠？

 
 
Many in the West still have a mental image of China being stuck somewhere in the early 1990s, lacking transport solutions, technology and clean electricity, but after Gav visited Shenzhen - a city of 17.5 million and almost zero emissions - those tired old images of China quickly became as outdated as typewriters.
After enduring horrific air quality issues, in 2018 the local government in Shenzhen mandated that all diesel & petrol buses and taxis must be battery powered. Almost immediately, air quality and noise pollution levels in the streets of Shenzhen improved. All scooters and motorcycles were also required to be electric, which meant it wasn't long before people were able to breathe again – and this is a trend which is in full force right across the entire country.
Then there's China's electricity generation. China now has around 886 gigawatts of solar power installed and they're growing this number intensely. Last year, China added 277 gigawatts of new solar capacity; a 45% increase from 2023 and the economic benefits of so much clean energy are already paying off, with clean energy contributing a record 10% to China's GDP in 2024.
All this means that China is on track to meet its 2030 climate goals early. In fact, the Finnish Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) believes China’s carbon emissions may even peak this year and then start to fall. Remarkable when you consider that this is a country of more than a billion people.
As for electric vehicles, China now leads global EV sales. Last year alone, China sold more than 12 million passenger EVs, which is two-thirds of all EV sales on this planet. They've now even installed 45,000 km of electric-powered, high-speed rail capable of between 350 and 450 km/h to render most domestic plane journeys obsolete. They're on target for 65,000 km by 2030; just five years from now.
Of course, the monumental size of the population in China makes funding large scale projects easier, but there's nothing stopping us from emulating their success stories on a kiwi scale. Cleaner and quieter cities, more abundant energy, less strain on our hydro lakes during droughts and healthier, happier citizens who live longer are the results of a better, more future-focused Aotearoa, and we can start today!
So, if you're keen on joining the winning team, the first thing you should do is slash your carbon footprint by joining us here at Ecotricity; New Zealand's only climate positive electricity provider. That means by switching today, you're actually turning back the clock on Climate Change while saving money in the process.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! Ecotricity is real, with really affordable electricity, thanks to it being purely renewable. Head to https://www.ecotricity.co.nz and chuck in your address to see how much money & carbon you can save right now. It's that easy and it makes a real, positive difference for the next generation.
 
 
 
 
 
許多西方人仍舊停留在上世紀(jì)九十年代初對中國的印象中，覺得這個國家缺乏交通方案、技術(shù)與清潔能源，但當(dāng)Gav造訪了深圳——這座擁有1750萬人口、幾乎零排放的城市后，那些陳舊刻板的印象就像打字機一樣徹底過時了。
在經(jīng)歷了嚴(yán)重的空氣污染之后，深圳市政府于2018年出臺規(guī)定，所有柴油和汽油驅(qū)動的公交車與出租車必須全面電動化。幾乎是一夜之間，街頭的空氣質(zhì)量和噪音水平顯著改善。所有的摩托車和電動汽車也被要求必須使用電動驅(qū)動，這意味著很快人們又可以自由呼吸了——如今，這樣的趨勢已經(jīng)在整個中國全面展開。
再來看中國的電力生產(chǎn)。如今，中國的太陽能裝機容量已達到約886吉瓦，且還在快速增長。去年，中國新增了277吉瓦的太陽能發(fā)電能力，比2023年增長了45%。巨量的清潔能源帶來的經(jīng)濟效益已初現(xiàn)成效——2024年，清潔能源對中國GDP的貢獻首次達到10%，創(chuàng)下了新紀(jì)錄。
 
這一切意味著中國有望提前實現(xiàn)其2030年氣候目標(biāo)。事實上，芬蘭能源與清潔空氣研究中心（CREA）認為中國的碳排放或?qū)⒃诮衲赀_到峰值，隨后開始下降?？紤]到中國是一個擁有十多億人口的國家，這樣的成就無疑令人驚嘆。
在電動汽車方面，中國如今已成為全球電動汽車銷售的領(lǐng)頭羊。僅去年一年，中國就售出了超過1200萬輛電動乘用車，占全球銷量的三分之二。如今，中國還建成了4.5萬公里的電力驅(qū)動的高速鐵路，時速在350至450公里之間，幾乎淘汰了國內(nèi)大部分航班旅行。到2030年，他們的目標(biāo)是將高鐵里程擴展至6.5萬公里，距離現(xiàn)在只剩下五年時間。
 
當(dāng)然，中國龐大的人口規(guī)模確實使得大型項目的資金籌集相對容易，但這并不意味著我們無法在新西蘭這樣的國家復(fù)制他們的成功。更清潔、更安靜的城市，更充足的能源供應(yīng)，在干旱時減少水力發(fā)電的壓力，以及更健康、更長壽、更快樂的市民——這一切正是一個更好、更面向未來的新西蘭應(yīng)有的樣子，而這一切我們可以從今天就開始。
所以，如果你也想加入勝利的一方，那就從削減碳足跡開始吧——加入我們Ecotricity，新西蘭唯一一家氣候正向的電力供應(yīng)商。這意味著只要你今天就轉(zhuǎn)用我們的服務(wù)，不僅是在對抗氣候變化，更是在幫自己省錢。
聽起來好得不像真的，對吧？可這是真的！Ecotricity是真實存在的，而且我們的電價非常實惠，這得益于我們百分百使用可再生能源。登錄 https://www.ecotricity.co.nz，輸入你的地址，立刻看看你能省下多少電費和碳排。就這么簡單，卻能為下一代帶來真正、積極的改變。
 
 
 
 
@bmk8018
China is also the reason solar has become so cheap. Instead of trying to "diversify away" from China, which the US would love us to do, we should be asking China to hook us up with infrastructure.
 
太陽能變得如此便宜也多虧了中國。與其聽從美國的意思試圖“擺脫對中國的依賴”，我們倒不如主動請中國幫我們搞基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)。
 
@pleongv1
Have to correct your bias .. China have little faults .. a govt that cares for her population is not faults for not protecting the big business and elites
 
我得糾正你那偏見……中國沒那么多問題……一個關(guān)心人民的政府，不該因為不去維護大企業(yè)和權(quán)貴的利益而被說成有錯。
 
@4191682
I live in Wuhan with my family, I have a house in Tianjing(our vacation home) that has full roof of solar panels generating electricity at daytime, and I sell the excess power back to state grid to make money. I think the price we can sell to the state grid will go down gradually though, as solar coverage is rising up rapidly and the fact that state grid is generating more elictricity than we need. this shows how the government is determined to do it.
 
我和家人生活在武漢，我們在天津有一處度假屋，屋頂裝滿了太陽能板，白天發(fā)電，多出來的電我還能賣給國家電網(wǎng)賺錢。不過我估計以后賣電的價格會逐步下調(diào)，因為太陽能普及得太快了，而且國家電網(wǎng)本身發(fā)電也越來越多。這一切都說明了政府的決心。
 
@EwenBell
I watch China grow up over recent decades, from an awkward teenager into a confident adult. Used to sit in hotel rooms and the only English channel was CNN, with some goofball journo saying that "one day" China will be an economic force. They never realised that day had already happened.
 
我親眼見證了中國這些年間的成長，從一個笨拙的青少年成長為一個自信的成年人。以前我在酒店里，電視上唯一的英文頻道是CNN，一個滑稽的記者總在說“中國有朝一日將成為經(jīng)濟強國”。他們從沒意識到那一天早就來了。
 
@simon-c2y
It makes me so mad, here in Newcastle I'm getting on a diesel train, the verge was cut with petrol mowers, and diesel trains haul coal. It all has a cloud of smoke surrounding it.
 
我真的氣瘋了，在紐卡斯?fàn)栁易氖遣裼突疖?，路邊的草是用汽油割草機割的，還有柴油火車?yán)禾康教幣埽麄€城市都籠罩在煙霧里。
 
@ShuHololive
You should also see how they changed some part of their northern desert into a forest to prevent desertification.
 
你還應(yīng)該看看他們是如何把北方的一部分沙漠變成了森林以防止沙漠化的。
 
@CleanTitans
This video paints a compelling picture of China's rapid progress in the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors. The scale of their ambition, particularly in cities like Shenzhen, is truly impressive. China's commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels and embracing clean technologies is a powerful example of how a nation can prioritize a sustainable future. It's a wake-up call and a source of inspiration for the rest of the world.
 
這段視頻展示了中國在可再生能源和電動汽車領(lǐng)域的飛速進展，非常具有說服力。尤其是在深圳這樣的城市，他們的雄心令人震撼。中國堅定地從化石燃料轉(zhuǎn)向清潔技術(shù)是一個國家將可持續(xù)未來置于優(yōu)先地位的典范。這不僅是對世界的警醒，更是對世界其他國家的激勵。
 
@termitehill
Thanks Gav. Rewiring Aotearoa just put a report out on this topic. NZ could reap the economical rewards of a fully electric future and the associated green growth. Now. They conclude that 84% of our "burning fossil" machines are viably electrifiable right now. (although they include chainsaws in this, and I've tried to do this, but the battery chainsaw doesnt last long enough). Easy win, and save from day 1 (even on finance) is to get solar, battery and an EV. Go electric :-)
 
謝謝你，Gav?！吨厮苄挛魈m的電力結(jié)構(gòu)》剛發(fā)布了一份關(guān)于這個主題的報告。新西蘭完全有能力擁抱電氣化的未來并從中獲得經(jīng)濟增長帶來的紅利。他們認為我們84%的“燒化石燃料的機器”目前就可以電氣化（雖然他們連油鋸也算進去了——我試過，但電鋸的電池實在太不耐用了）。最簡單的辦法是搞太陽能、電池加電動汽車，從第一天就能省錢（哪怕貸款買也一樣）。電氣化，走起！
 
@theunknownunknowns256
What saw and what work are you talking about. Logging with saws is out of reach for now (machine logging now anyway), most other applications are easily met by electric chainsaws. Only edge requirements, so you keep a 2stroke in the tool box and use like 1% of the time.
 
你說的是哪種鋸子？干什么活？現(xiàn)在早就不是人工伐木的時代了（都用機械伐木了），其他大多數(shù)用途用電鋸?fù)耆銐?，只有極個別的場合才需要用到兩沖程油鋸，它可以放工具箱里備用，基本一年用不了幾次。
 
@termitehill
Felling pines and rounding them on our lifestyle block. But yeah agree. I do use a smaller electric chainsaw as well and it is very useful for smaller work.
 
我是在我們的生活農(nóng)場上砍松樹、修整樹干。不過你說得也對，我確實也用小型電鋸干些輕活兒，那玩意挺好使。
 
@Shrouded_reaper
Solar and batteries are quite affordable right now, the 800k+ houses not so much. Neither are the EVs affordable. The cost of BYD cars here is absurd. Our charging network is also rubbish.
 
當(dāng)前太陽能和電池儲能價格還算合理，但80萬以上的房產(chǎn)和電動汽車依然讓人高攀不起。比亞迪的車價在這里簡直離譜，充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)更是一塌糊涂。
 
@dicky-duck6632
Sure, we envy Australia’s endless sunshine — but they envy our mountains and rivers, which make storing electricity through hydro a whole lot cheaper. When it comes to renewables, it’s not just about making power, it’s about keeping it too.
 
沒錯，我們確實羨慕澳洲全年陽光普照——但他們也羨慕我們有山有水，用水電儲能便宜得多。談可再生能源不只是“發(fā)電”這么簡單，關(guān)鍵還在于“儲能”。
 
@Barbreck1
The politicians are standing in the way of our progress. The restrictions of Chinese scooter and motorcycle imports are ridiculous. We could and should be buzzing around on these things.
 
政客才是阻礙我們進步的絆腳石。限制中國電動摩托和電動滑板車的進口簡直是荒唐，我們本來完全可以、也應(yīng)該騎著這些滿街跑。
 
@saltybread1
I am certainly no fan of EV mandates or subsidies, however, I do believe EVs are the future and I am glad you are using your platform to try and persuade people
 
我確實不支持強制推行電動汽車，也不贊同補貼政策，但我相信電動汽車就是未來，我很高興你愿意用自己的平臺去影響他人。
 
@willm5814
I ‘ve done everything you recommend here in Canada (including heat pumps for heating and cooling) and huge amounts of insulation- people honestly don’t get it, they all give money for the ‘cure’ for cancer but they are too stupid to spend their money on the root cause
 
我在加拿大已經(jīng)照你說的全做了（包括用熱泵供暖制冷），還做了大量的保溫措施——但很多人壓根不明白。他們花錢捐助所謂的“癌癥治愈”，卻蠢得不肯把錢花在根本原因上。
 
@PS-383
New subscriber here. Enjoyed your vlogs, Gavin. Keep up the great work!
Shenzhen is the electronics hardware capital of the world. The new Silicon Valley. It is estimated that almost 90% of the world's electronic devices are manufactured in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is home to companies like BYD, Huawei, Tencent, DJI, UBTECH Robotics, Insta360 and ZTE to name a few.
China had no choice but to go green and reduce dependency on fossil fuel as air pollution in the major cities was a severe health hazard. Transitioning to electric vehicles including buses and motor bikes improved the air quality significantly especially in the major cities. Shenzhen is the first city in the world to go all-electric on buses in 2017. One year later in 2018, it also achieved 100 percent electric taxis. And their primary mode of transportation between cities across the country is predominantly on their electric high speed trains that cruises up to 350km/h.
As of 2024, China has one third of the world's installed solar panel capacity. They are building a new hydro power plant that is larger than the current world's largest Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in Hubei province, China. The new hydropower dam is a 60-gigawatt “super dam” located on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet Autonomous Region. And they are investing heavily in new nuclear power plants as well as building a new thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR). TMSRs offer a promising path to a more sustainable and potentially safer nuclear energy future compared to traditional uranium-fueled reactors.
 
我是新訂閱者，我很喜歡你的 vlog，Gavin，請繼續(xù)加油！
深圳是世界電子硬件之都，是新的“硅谷”。據(jù)說全球近90%的電子設(shè)備都產(chǎn)自深圳。像比亞迪、華為、騰訊、大疆、優(yōu)必選、影石Insta360、中興等企業(yè)都扎根于此。
中國走綠色路線、減少對化石燃料依賴并非出于炫耀，而是出于無奈——大城市的空氣污染已嚴(yán)重威脅健康。轉(zhuǎn)向電動汽車，包括公交和摩托車，顯著改善了空氣質(zhì)量，特別是在大城市中。2017年，深圳成為全球首個實現(xiàn)公交全面電動化的城市；一年后的2018年，出租車也實現(xiàn)了百分百電動化。城市之間的主要交通方式則是時速可達350公里的電動高鐵。
截至2024年，中國擁有全球三分之一的太陽能裝機容量。他們還在修建一座比目前世界最大水電站——三峽大壩——還要大的新水電工程，地點位于西藏自治區(qū)的雅魯藏布江下游，裝機規(guī)模達60吉瓦，被稱為“超級大壩”。此外，中國也在大力投資新型核電廠，并正在建設(shè)新一代的釷基熔鹽反應(yīng)堆（TMSR）。與傳統(tǒng)的鈾燃料反應(yīng)堆相比，TMSR有望為我們提供更可持續(xù)、也更安全的核能解決方案。
 
@howardsimpson489
I was a diesel mechanic but installed my first solar panels more than ten years ago. Added more since. I bought an old 2011 Nissan Leaf shopping basket five years ago, no fuel cost at all. When you think of the lead pumped into low altitude air that we breath by the petro industry, what is there to loose? Next problem, lithium fires, this will get sorted.
 
我以前是柴油機械師，但十多年前我就安裝了第一套太陽能板，后來陸續(xù)又加裝了不少。五年前我買了輛2011年的日產(chǎn)聆風(fēng)當(dāng)買菜車，完全沒有油費。想想看，石油行業(yè)把那么多鉛排放進我們呼吸的低空空氣里，這還有什么可猶豫的？接下來的問題是鋰電池起火，這遲早也會被解決。
 
@StoryTimewithDeadline2.0
Great vid!!! Well done China... Yes I would like Aussies to get off their butts and do more!!! I have an EV, I'm on Green Power as I'm a renter and landlord's not interested in solar! Unfortunately I don't live in NZ or I would be with Ecotricity!!! Keep showing us up China and we might become so embarrassed that we'll start the ultimate solar and battery race!!!
 
好視頻！中國干得漂亮……我也真希望澳洲人別再偷懶，多干點實事！我有電動汽車，用的是綠色電力，可惜我租房，房東根本不考慮安裝太陽能！可惜我不生活在新西蘭，否則早就用 Ecotricity 了！中國啊，你就繼續(xù)“卷”我們吧，說不定我們哪天實在丟不起人了，也開始拼命搞太陽能和電池競賽！
 
@DarkVader-jj4dt
China is wisely investing in its infrastructure and the technologies of the future, not in endless wars and promoting global conflicts.
 
中國正在聰明地把錢投到基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和未來科技上，而不是無休止的戰(zhàn)爭和挑起全球沖突。
 
@robdavo1701
They are smart people, much smarter than most Aussies, it's also a great place to visit, I felt safe there, people are friendly, the big cities are clean and I seen very little graffiti or the anti social yobbos you often see in the CBD here.
 
他們是聰明人，比澳洲大多數(shù)人聰明多了，那個地方也很值得一游，我在那里感覺很安全，民眾很友善，大城市干凈整潔，幾乎看不到涂鴉或那種在澳洲CBD常見的反社會混混。
 
@hharry5315
Too many electric bikes have become a big problem in Shenzhen, because there are no dedicated lanes, they run on the sidewalks, which is very unsafe. However, this is not the case in other Chinese cities.
 
深圳的電動汽車實在太多了，成了個大問題，因為沒專用車道，它們就直接在人行道上跑，很危險。不過其他中國城市的情況好一些，沒有這么混亂。
 
@TassieEV
Thank you Gav...can not agree more...just wish I owned a home as I'd be doing solar panels, double/triple glazing, insulation including walls/floor/ceiling and possibly even a battery if not a V2H system and as you do grow my own veggies. Amazing no fumes, just road noise and the honking imagine smelling cooking instead of carcinogenic fossil fuel fumes.
 
謝謝你，Gav……我完全贊同你說的……真希望我有自己的房子，我會裝上太陽能板、雙層或三層玻璃窗、整屋保溫（墻體、地板、天花板），可能還會搞個電池或V2H系統(tǒng)，像你一樣自己種菜。想想真美好，沒有尾氣，只有車流聲和喇叭聲，鼻子里聞到的是飯香而不是致癌的化石燃料廢氣。
 
@Concreteblockmachineug
I think it's wise to have converted all vehicles to renewable, yes coal plants supply the power but this means now you only have one problem to solve, if they find a cleaner power solution everything would be solved. Centralizing to many problems to one solvable one.
 
把所有的車輛都轉(zhuǎn)向可再生能源是明智之舉。是的，現(xiàn)在發(fā)電主要靠燃煤電廠，但這就意味著我們只剩一個核心問題要解決——只要找到更干凈的發(fā)電方式，整個體系就能徹底變綠。把多個問題集中成一個可以攻克的問題，這才是上策。
 
@kingcharles7615
I read some comments and find the all of you are praise China. As an Chinese who is living in New Zealand, I wanna address that when you guys are enjoy sunshine holiday, we are working.
 
我看到評論區(qū)里大家都在夸中國。作為一個在新西蘭生活的中國人，我只想說：你們享受陽光假期的時候，我們卻還在埋頭干活。
