據OE網站3月22日消息：荷蘭將在未來幾年大幅增加海上風電場的建設，到2030年將計劃容量翻一番，以實現氣候目標。

政府上周五宣布，計劃在本十年內在北海的荷蘭部分建設總裝機容量為10.7吉瓦的風力發電場。

之前的計劃目標是到2030年海上風能總容量達到約10吉瓦，在最近幾年的一系列招標之后，其中約3吉瓦已經投入運營或正在建設中。

政府在1月份宣布將大幅增加能源轉型支出，并設立了350億歐元(390億美元)的基金，為有助于保持向碳中和經濟轉型的項目提供資金。

新增的風力發電將幫助化工廠和鋼鐵廠等重工業用戶轉向可持續能源，例如利用風能生產“綠色”氫。

荷蘭擁有歐洲最大的港口和許多大型工業，是歐盟人均溫室氣體排放量最高的國家之一。

二氧化碳排放在2020年大幅下降后，去年增加了2%，部分原因是疫情封鎖的影響。

去年的排放量比1990年減少了23.9%，而該國的目標是到2030年減少55%。

Netherlands Ramps Up Offshore Wind Plans

The Netherlands will significantly ramp up the building of offshore wind farms in coming years, doubling the planned capacity by 2030, in a bid to meet climate goals.

The government [last Friday announced plans] for additional wind farms with a total capacity of 10.7 gigawatt (GW) to be realized by the end of the decade in the Dutch part of the North Sea.

[Previous] plans aim[ed] at a total capacity of about 10 GW in offshore wind energy in 2030, with about 3 GW already operational or under construction following a series of tenders in recent years.

The government in January announced it would significantly increase spending on the energy transition and set up a fund of 35 billion euros ($39 billion) to finance projects that would help keep the transformation to a carbon neutral economy on track. Read full story

The additional wind power should help heavy industrial users such as chemical and steel plants switch to sustainable energy sources, for instance by using the power to produce "green" hydrogen.

Home to Europe's largest port and many large industries, the Netherlands is among the countries in the EU with the highest greenhouse emissions per capita.

Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) increased 2% last year, after a sharp decline in 2020 which was partly the effect of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Emissions last year were 23.9% lower than in 1990, while the country aims for a decline of 55% by 2030.
