Countries must creatively complement the use of fossil fuels and renewable energy in the interim pending when renewable energy can stand alone as major source of energy globally. This was the view of the Chief Executive Officer, Lekoil, Lekan Akinyanmi, while speaking on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum’s yearly meeting at Davos.
Globally, there has been an increase in calls for reduction of fossil fuel consumption which environmentalists have indicted for greenhouse gas emission. "It is possible to keep an oil and gas company sustainable. The first thing we have got to do is to stop denying that there is an issue." Indeed, there is an issue, Akinyanmi said. "The change over from fossil fuel to alternative energy or cleaner fuels is a multi-decade or probably multi-century thing. The fossil fuel industry will still be relevant. What we need to do is to figure out ways to be responsible in the fossil fuel production and consumption process." Historically, a lot of fossil fuel companies have produced oil and flared the gas. But it is actually the gas that is more efficient. It’s friendlier to the environment, so we need to shift our attention there. From our perspective as Lekoil one of the things that helps us is that, a good chunk of our portfolio is actually gas so we are actually well on our way.
Energy analysts suggest that the renewable energy market will grow at a cumulative average growth rate of 7.6% between 2020 and 2025 to reach 3,812 gigawatts by 2025. Rising investment and improvement in technology has seen a drastic improvement in renewable energy output. Between 2020 and 2025, the United States and other developed countries are scaling up investments in renewable energy. However, The Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest-growing market for renewable energy globally, accounting for nearly 27% of the global market share. Within the Asia Pacific, China and India together form the leading renewable energy markets having almost 75% of the installed capacity of renewable energy.
I think we will make our way through this. Unfortunately, I think there is a lot of brinkmanship. "We actually do need an energy mix to solve the world’s energy problems. In the interim there will be discontinuities, the pendulum will swing both ways. But it is shortsighted to just ignore the fossil fuel industry and move to the renewable energy industry or vice versa. We need a portfolio that mixes both energy sources," Akinyanmi said.
Which of the following would be the best title of the text?
选项
A、Fossil Fuels May Be the Best Source of Energy Globally
B、Ways of Continuing Using Fossil Fuels As the Major Source of Energy
C、Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy Will Continue to Play Complementary Roles
D、Fossil Fuels Going Nowhere, Renewable Energy Going Everywhere
答案
C
解析
文章第一段通过引用Akinyanmi的话引出化石燃料和可再生能源这个话题,紧接着从各方面对当下化石燃料和可再生能源问题进行讨论,作者提出虽然可再生能源可能更环保,效能更高,但是在目前这个阶段,两种能源还是一种互补关系,所以我们还需要合理处理好两种能源之间的关系,将两种能源组合使用,以此度过能源危机。由此可知,C项为正确答案。文章第二段首句提到“在全球范围内,要求减少化石燃料消耗的呼声越来越高,环境保护主义者已将其归咎于温室气体排放”,由此可知,选项A“化石燃料可能是全世界最好的能源”错误,应排除;文章自始至终没有提到任何解决能源问题的方法,且根据文章的表述,化石燃料也不会成为最主要能源,故选项D错误,应排除;目前的状态确实是可再生能源比较有利,但是最后一段提到“我们需要将两种能源混合在一起组合使用”,由此可知,化石燃料依旧会和可再生能源一起成为目前主要的燃料来源,故D项错误,应排除。
