希腊将投资440亿欧元转向清洁能源

据路透社雅典报道，希腊政府周四表示，希腊希望在未来10年内在减少对化石燃料依赖的项目上获得价值440亿欧元(约490亿美元)的投资。

该国内阁周四批准的一项计划显示，希腊将努力在2030年之前，将碳足迹较2005年减少55% 以上，并将在未来8年内关闭所有燃煤电厂。

到那时，风能、太阳能和水力发电将至少占能源消费的35% ，高于2016年的15% ，投资额约为90亿欧元，其他投资包括天然气网络和回收项目。

雅典方面预计，这项投资将主要由政府支出、欧盟资金和外国投资组成。

石油和天然气进口占希腊总能源消费的65% 以上。

环境和能源部长科斯蒂斯·哈齐达基斯告诉记者: “气候变化已经发生，我们每天都在承受其后果。”

该国将在未来10年投资约20亿欧元，帮助应对气候变化引起的自然灾害，如洪水和森林火灾。
