Prospects for renewable energy developments and role of natural gas

摘要

1.Despite renewable growth, major part of global energy needs would remain satisfied by conventional energy (fossil fuels represent almost 78% in the energy mix by 2030),2.Power generation is the main driver of intermittent renewables’ progress, which requires power systems to be more flexible to integrate renewables and to deal with their output variability. Gas can support flexibility and cost efficiency of power systems.3.Given its environmental, technical and economic advantages, natural gas would play a key role in meeting growing energy needs and contributing in sustainable development in the Post Paris Agreement era.
