摘要
聯合國2050年碳中和淨零排放目標的達成相當程度仰賴再生能源產業的發展,期待取代化石燃 料生產的能源。然而化石燃料產業公司的市值屢創新高,似乎沒有往下走的跡象,由於資本追求利 潤,資金走向代表產業發展方向的興衰,究竟化石燃料產業的企業獲利較具競爭力,抑或是再生能 源的企業獲利較高。本文透過選擇全球化石燃料產業與再生能源產業市值排名在前面的企業進行比 較,從財務角度探討兩者之間的績效表現差異。本文發現化石燃料公司的市值、ROE、ROA與EPS 都比再生能源產業公司來的好;其次,再生能源公司與化石燃料公司資本額與規模對經營績效有顯 著關係,意味著兩種產業均存在規模經濟效應,但是產業型態與資本額的交互作用,對於再生能源 公司的財務績效沒有顯著的影響,反而對化石燃料公司有顯著影響,顯示化石燃料公司

The achievement of the United Nations' 2050 carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions goal relies to a considerable extent on the development of the renewable energy industry, with the expectation of replacing energy production from fossil fuels. However, fossil fuel industry companies continue to reach new recordhigh market cap. Due to capital-driven profit-seeking motives, the flow of funds represents the direction of industry development, raising the question of whether fossil fuel companies are more profitable or if renewable energy companies generate higher profits. This article compares the market cap of leading global fossil fuel and renewable energy companies and explores the performance differences between the two from a financial perspective. The findings of this study indicate that fossil fuel companies outperform renewable energy companies in terms of market cap, ROE, ROA, and EPS. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between the registered capital and scale of both renewable energy and fossil fuel companies, suggesting the presence of economies of scale in both industries. However, the interaction between industry type and registered captial does not have a significant impact on the financial performance of renewable energy companies, while it does have a significant influence on fossil fuel companies. This indicates a relatively stronger competition among fossil fuel companies in a relatively stable and mature traditional energy market, resulting in better financial performance compared to renewable energy companies.
