隨著人類文明的發展,能源的消耗量與日俱增,但地球上所蘊藏的化石能源,如:石油、天然氣、煤等在人類的大量開採下,其使用年限也僅剩數十年,便即將消耗殆盡;再則由於化石能源的大量使用,造成全球各地溫室效應,使各國氣候變化異常,嚴重影響人類永續生存,因此,全世界各國均希望並要求降低二氧化碳的排放量,基於上述兩種原因,對於生生不息且潔淨之綠色再生能源的發展,已成為當前重要且迫切的課題。 而德國、中國乃為本世紀以來最積極投入綠色再生能源之研發技術與設置推廣的國家,並領先各國而成為世界的表率。本論文特別以該二國的太陽能發展概況為例,來說明其成功的經驗,及為人類永續發展所做之貢獻與努力,以為我國之參考借鏡。
Energy consumption has increased throughout the years. The fossil fuels stored under the earth, such as oil, gas, and coal have been extracted tremendously, and the remaining fossil fuels will only last for a few more decades. Due to the great use of fossil fuels, global warming has become a serious issue which not only changes the climate worldwide but also threatens the survival of humankind. Therefore, several countries are urgently exploring the possibilities of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and developing green renewable energy. Germany and China are very much involved in the study of producing and promoting green renewable energy. Their efforts and results are a significant model for other countries to follow. The study discusses the solar energy development in these two countries. Their success experience will be a good example for creating green renewable energy in Taiwan.
