글로벌 경영진 상당수가 재생에너지에 사업의 미래를 걸 준비가 돼 있는 것으로 드러났다. 영국 컨설팅 회사 사반타(Savanta)가 15개국 1500명 임원을 대상으로 조사한 결과, 97%가 “화석연료 대신 깨끗한 에너지로의 전환을 지지한다”고 응답했다. 절반이 넘는 52%는 “자국에 재생에너지 접근성이 충분치 않으면 사업장을 이전할 용의가 있다”고 밝혔다. 조사 대상 임원의 77%는 재생에너지를 경제 성장의 핵심 요소로, 75%는 일자리 창출의 주요 수단으로 봤다. 글로벌 응답자의 75%는 “재생에너지가 에너지 자립을 강화한다”고 답했으며, 독일에서는 그 비율이 78%로 더욱 높았다. 전기장비 기업 슈나이더일렉트릭의 지속가능성 총괄 스튜어트 레몬은 “지금 재생에너지를 도입하는 기업이 내일의 경쟁력을 확보하고 혁신을 촉진하며 장기적 비용 절감을 달성한다”며 “재생에너지는 단순한 지속가능성 관행이 아니라, 성장·회복력·장기적 성공을 위한 필수 전략”이라고 강조했다.

米国のドナルド・トランプ政権が地球温暖化の原因となる化石燃料からの脱却を阻止しようとする中、2024年には世界の発電量のうち、再生可能エネルギーと原子力発電が40.9%を占めた。 エネルギーを専門とする英国のシンクタンク、エンバーの最新の報告書によると、2024年の再生可能エネルギー発電量は858テラワット時増加し、22年に記録した577テラワット時を49%上回った。特に太陽光発電の成長が著しく、発電量は前年比で29%増加した。エンバーは「過去20年連続で最も急速に成長した電力源」は太陽光だとした。 他方で、現時点では、低炭素電力に占める太陽光発電の割合はわずか6.9%に過ぎない。低炭素電力のうち、水力発電が14.3%で最も大きな割合を占め、次いで原子力発電が9%、風力発電が8.1%だった。低炭素発電に占める原子力の割合は、過去45年間で最低となった。...
