Birol提议到2035年将电力在全球能源中的占比从23%提高到35%，称电气化可增强能源安全并减排。
他提出一项承诺倡议，到2035年将电力在全球能源中的占比从23%提高到35%，并鼓励各国在安塔利亚峰会上签署。他说，更高程度的电气化将增强能源安全并减少排放，在国际深度分歧之际提供一个共同目标。原文 (en)
He outlined a proposed commitment to increase electricity’s share of global energy from 23% to 35% by 2035, with countries encouraged to sign on at the Antalya summit. Greater electrification would strengthen energy security while reducing emissions, he said, offering a common objective at a time of deep international divisions.
Birol称“35-by-35”电气化目标主要将通过交通领域削减石油需求，并会遭到希望石油需求不降的国家反对。
如果这一电气化目标得以实现或达成，主要影响将是降低石油需求，因为主要冲击在交通运输领域，这将是关键。有些国家出于自身利益不愿看到石油需求下降。地缘政治给能源蒙上了漫长而黑暗的阴影。原文 (en)
If this electrification target is met or agreed, the main implication will be reducing oil demand because the main implication will be on the transportation sector, and it will be a key. “There are countries who have some interest to not see the oil demand going down. Geopolitics has a long and dark shadow on energy.
Birol认为澳大利亚尽管出口化石燃料，仍适合主导气候谈判，并表示世界最好有至少五个这样的澳大利亚。
在应对气候变化方面，我会更放心的是，世界上不止一个而是至少有五个澳大利亚。原文 (en)
In fighting climate change, he says, “I would feel much better if there were not one, but at least five Australias in this world.”
Birol 称，未来五年可再生能源在全球发电量中的占比将从三分之一升至近一半。
未来五年，可再生能源预计将从占全球发电量的三分之一增长到接近一半。原文 (en)
Over the next five years, renewables are expected to grow from one-third to nearly half of global electricity generation
比罗尔表示，如今推动可再生能源扩张的主要是能源安全而非环境考虑，各国希望减少对进口燃料的依赖。
"此前，环境问题是推动可再生能源增长的政策重点，成本下降也使其在许多市场具备竞争力；但如今，推动可再生能源扩张的主要是能源安全，越来越多国家希望降低对进口燃料的依赖。"原文 (en)
"Previously, environmental concerns were the policy priority behind the growth of renewables, whose falling costs have made them a competitive option in many markets - but today, it's mainly energy security that is driving renewables' expansion as more and more countries seek to reduce their exposure to imported fuels," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.
比罗尔称可再生能源正在全球扩散，占全球发电量的比重将从目前的三分之一在五年内升至接近一半。
"可再生能源增长故事的新篇章真正具有全球性，其部署已远远超出主要市场，扩展到世界每个角落。这使其成为全球电力行业的关键支柱。如今它们占全球发电量的三分之一；未来五年将接近一半。"原文 (en)
"The new chapter of the renewables growth story is a truly global one as their deployment spreads well beyond major markets into every corner of the world. This is making them a key pillar of the global power sector. Today, they account for a third of global electricity generation; in the next five years, they will be getting closer to half of it."
