原标题：欧盟助力阿塞拜疆开发可再生能源新技术

中国石化新闻网讯 据1月10日Trend报道，欧盟驻阿塞拜疆代表团团长Kestutis Jankauskas表示，欧盟已经准备好在可再生能源方面为阿塞拜疆提供援助。

Jankauskas表示，他们正在与阿塞拜疆开展合作，制定新的长期能源战略，愿意在可再生能源的最新技术方面为阿塞拜疆提供帮助。阿塞拜疆有很多风能和太阳能，最新的可再生能源技术将使许多公共事业减少支出，让环境更清洁。”

并补充道：“欧盟和阿塞拜疆将在2020年扩大在一些城市和自治市能效项目上的合作。新成立的欧盟委员会的首要任务之一就是通过欧洲绿色协议。我们制定了一个远大的目标，要在2050年前使欧洲成为世界上第一个气候中性的大陆。因此，我们需要合作伙伴的帮助，这对我们所有人来说都意义重大。”

此前，阿塞拜疆能源部办公室主任Zaur Mammadov表示，阿塞拜疆可再生能源的经济和技术潜力估计为26900兆瓦。包括风能(3000兆瓦)、太阳能(23040兆瓦)、生物能源(380兆瓦)和山河能源(520兆瓦)。

Mammadov指出，2018年阿塞拜疆的发电量为252亿千瓦时，其中20亿千瓦时是可再生能源。2018年，风力发电场发电量为8570万千瓦时，太阳能发电场发电量为3930万千瓦时，固体垃圾焚烧炉发电量为1.623亿千瓦时，可再生能源发电占总发电量的8.1%。

欧盟委员会(European Commission)提出了《欧洲绿色协议》(European Green Deal)，这是具有远大前景的一揽子措施，能够让欧洲公民和企业从可持续的绿色发展转型中受益。这些措施伴随着一系列关键政策的初步路线图——从减排，到投资于前沿研究和创新，再到保护欧洲的自然环境。

在绿色技术、可持续解决方案和新业务投资的支持下，绿色协议可以成为欧盟新的增长战略。公众和所有利益相关者的参与和承诺对其成功至关重要。

EU is ready to help Azerbaijan with latest technologies on renewables

The European Union (EU) is ready to help Azerbaijan with latest technologies on renewables, Head of the EU Delegation to Azerbaijan Kestutis Jankauskas told Trend.

"We are already working with Azerbaijan on its new long term Energy Strategy. We are ready to help with latest technologies on renewable energy sources. Azerbaijan has a lot of wind and sun. Harvesting it would make many utility bills smaller and our environment cleaner," he said.

Jankauskas noted that EU and Azerbaijan will be expanding their cooperation in 2020 on the energy efficiency programs for a number of cities and municipalities.

"As you definitely have heard, one of the first jobs of the new European Commission was to work on the adoption of the European Green Deal. We have set an ambitious target of making Europe world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. We need our partners to help, because this is important for all of us," he added.

Earlier, Zaur Mammadov, head of the Office of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Energy, told Trend that economic and technical potential of renewable energy in Azerbaijan is estimated at 26,900 megawatts.

"This includes wind energy (3,000 megawatts), solar energy (23,040 megawatts), bioenergy potential (380 megawatts) and mountain river energy (520 megawatts)," he said.

He noted that in 2018, Azerbaijan generated 25.2 billion kilowatts of electricity, 2 billion kilowatt hours of which accounted for renewable energy sources.

"During 2018, 85.7 million kilowatt hours were generated at wind farms, 39.3 million kilowatt hours at solar power plants, and 162.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity at solid waste incinerators," Mammadov said.

He noted that electricity generated from renewable energy sources amounted to 8.1 percent of total production volume.

The European Commission has presented the European Green Deal, the most ambitious package of measures that should enable European citizens and businesses to benefit from sustainable green transition. Measures accompanied with an initial roadmap of key policies range from ambitiously cutting emissions, to investing in cutting-edge research and innovation, to preserving Europe’s natural environment.

Supported by investments in green technologies, sustainable solutions and new businesses, the Green Deal can be a new EU growth strategy. Involvement and commitment of the public and of all stakeholders is crucial to its success.
