中国搞可再生能源垄断？这个原油大国这么说……
双语君约 7 分钟距离阿联酋阿布扎比市中心约50公里之处，原本是一片荒无人烟的沙漠。2020年底，这里开始建造世界上最大的单体太阳能发电站——艾尔达芙拉2000兆瓦太阳能光伏电站。
这个占地面积相当于2800个足球场大小的发电站是“一带一路”倡议下绿色能源领域中里程碑式的项目。它由中国工程企业总承包，2023年全面商业运营后，其发电量能满足当地约16万户家庭的用电需求。
The Al Dhafra solar photovoltaic power plant in Abu Dhabi is spread over 21 square kilometers, equivalent to 2800 soccer fields, making it a significant milestone in the realm of green energy under the Belt and Road Initiative. It has been constructed by a Chinese engineering corporation serving as the general contractor. Upon reaching full operational capacity later this year, the energy generated by Al Dhafra will have the capability to power more than 160,000 households.

《一带一路一物》系列第二集的故事就要从这个富得流“油”的国家讲起。
阿联酋为什么需要太阳能发电？
众所周知，阿联酋是全球化石能源最丰富的国家之一，也是全球的主要产油国。阿联酋的一句表态便可影响全球油价。石油和天然气一直以来也是该国的主要电力来源。然而，这种对化石燃料的依赖不仅威胁环境，也使该地区百姓的生活易受全球能源价格波动影响。
The UAE is known to be one of the richest countries in fossil energy in the world. Oil and natural gas have long been the main sources of electricity in the country. However, the dependence on fossil fuels not only threatens the environment, but also makes the region vulnerable to the volatility of global energy prices.
为应对日益严峻的气候危机，阿联酋政府提出了“2050年零排放”的目标。阿布扎比能源部“2035清洁能源战略目标”中也提出，该地区 60%的电力将来自清洁和可再生能源。
To cope with the worsening climate crisis, the UAE has set a goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The “Clean Energy Strategic Target 2035”, initiated by Abu Dhabi’s Department of Energy, also envisions 60 percent of the region’s electricity being generated from clean and renewable sources by 2035.
与此同时，阿联酋地理位置位于北纬22°50′-26°之间，终年光照充足，年平均日照时间超过3500小时。异常丰富的太阳能资源使得太阳能光伏电站成为了阿联酋理想的清洁能源替代方案。
On the other hand, the UAE is located at 22°50′ and 26° north latitude, indicating excellent exposure to solar energy. The country receives an average of 3,500 sunlight hours per year. As the country is gifted with rich solar energy resources, solar photovoltaic plants are therefore an ideal clean energy alternative for the UAE.
现已投入正式运营发电的艾尔达芙拉太阳能光伏电站将帮助阿布扎比每年减少240万吨的碳排放，相当于相当于减少了47万辆行驶汽车的排放量。
Al Dhafra, which is now in full operation, is expected to help Abu Dhabi slash its annual carbon emissions by 2.4 million tons, equivalent to removing about 470,000 cars from the roads.
《联合国气候变化框架公约》第28次缔约方会议（COP28）将于2023年底在阿联酋举办。该项目的顺利落成也为阿联酋举办该会议提供了强有力的支持。
中国在可再生能源技术领域有多强？
从全球范围看，中国在可再生能源发展上处于“领跑”队列，在光伏领域则更是如此。全球最大的光伏企业在中国，全球光伏产业链最大的霸主也是中国。国际能源组织的报告显示，中国占太阳能电池板关键生产步骤的份额已经超过80%。技术方面，中国在太阳能光伏及其他低碳能源技术领域的专利数量也呈指数增长。
China has become one of the leading players in global renewable energy. According to a report by Paris-based International Energy Agency, China’s share in all the key manufacturing stages of solar panels exceeds 80 percent. On the technology front, China's patents in solar photovoltaic and other low-carbon energy technologies are also growing exponentially.
王进伟是国机工程集团阿布扎比分公司总经理，也是艾尔达芙拉光伏电站项目中方建设团队负责人。他自豪地说，他们在这个项目上采用的都是世界上最先进的技术。项目采用的光伏组件用的是世界上最新的，其太阳能转换率超过了22%；光伏板的支架是跟踪式的，可以帮助光伏板随着太阳光的方向自动转动。技术的升级为降低度电的成本作出贡献，阿尔达夫拉太阳能光伏电站甚至创造了世界最低的电价之一：1.32美分每千瓦时。
中国发展绿色能源：在质疑中前进
然而，针对中国出口可再生能源技术，国际舆论的质疑却从未停止。
纽约时报（The New York Times）:
Failure to create a strong domestic solar manufacturing industry leaves the United States and our carbon-reduction goals not just dependent on China, but also vulnerable should China block or threaten to block its solar exports as a form of retaliation in the future.
美国未能建立强大的国内太阳能制造业，使美国以及其碳减排目标不仅依赖于中国，而且如果中国将来以阻止或威胁阻止其太阳能出口的方式进行报复，美国将处于弱势。
retaliation: 报复，反击
华尔街日报（The Wall Street Journal）:
Europe’s next energy test: Wrestling solar back from China
欧洲的下一个能源考验：摆脱对中国太阳能板的依赖
Continent is trying to rebuild its solar-panel industry after it was decimated by competition
欧陆被竞争摧毁后正试图重建太阳能电池板产业
wrestle back: 反击，回击；原指摔跤中的“抢回比赛”：在摔跤比赛中，当一名选手输掉了比赛，但仍有机会争取第三名时，他需要参加“抢回比赛”，与其他输掉比赛的选手进行比赛，争夺第三名的位置。
be decimated by: 摧毁，大幅度下降
“归根到底是因为投资，有人想要独吞这块’蛋糕’，而中国的政策提倡分享”香港理工大学工程学院院长文効忠教授告诉《中国日报》记者。
“After all, it’s all because of the investment; someone wants to eat the whole cake themselves, but Chinese policy is to share.” Professor Man Hau-chung, dean of Faculty of Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, told China Daily.
一直以来，中国“一带一路”沿线项目秉持着“共商共建共享”原则。而由中国工程师王进伟团队带领修建的艾尔达芙拉太阳能光伏项目正是其中一有力的佐证。
Projects along the Belt and Road have always upheld the founding principles of the initiative – Consultation, Contribution and Shared Benefits. The Al Dhafra solar power project, built by Chinese engineer Wang Jinwei and his team, is but one example.
Consultation, Contribution and Shared Benefits: 共商共建共享
王进伟团队凝聚了来自数十个国家的专业技术人员。其中中方人员只占了20%。除了使用中国领先的光伏技术，该项目也采用了多国的先进设备。
Wang’s team gathered personnel from more than 10 different countries. People from China account for only 20 percent. The project has not only applied advanced photovoltaic technologies from China, but also adopted advanced equipment from various countries.
该项目的主要开发商，阿布扎比未来能源公司首席运营官Abdulaziz Alobaidli认为，艾尔达夫拉项目是中国和中国的太阳能制造企业，为支持各国达到碳中和目标做出积极贡献的一个实例。
对于全球减碳，长期参与国际工程建设的王进伟这样说：“一带一路”绿色发展是应对气候变化的重要举措。减少碳排放是我们全人类共同的目标，我们中国人只是做了自己分内的事情。要想最终实现碳中和，需要大家一起努力。”
Our Al Dhafra 2,000-gigawatt project is a demonstration of the contribution of China and the Chinese solar manufacturing business into supporting different nations, including our nation, the UAE, and meeting our carbon-neutral targets.
绿色未来之路，道阻且长，行则将至。
