據彭博社6月2日報道,今年,石油和天然氣行業(yè)將加大對清潔能源的投資,但這仍不足以讓世界走上限制全球氣溫快速上升的道路。
IEA的一份報告顯示,預計傳統(tǒng)化石燃料公司將把氣候友好型投資增加到資本支出的至少4%,高于去年的1%。這一數字既凸顯了投資向低碳來源快速傾斜的步伐,也凸顯了將要面臨的挑戰(zhàn)的規(guī)模。今年年初,國際能源署表示,全球需要停止開發(fā)新的油氣田和煤礦,以限制全球氣溫上升。
國際能源署執(zhí)行主任法提赫?比羅爾表示:“必須調動和引導更多的資源用于清潔能源技術,使世界走上到2050年實現凈零排放的軌道。能源投資的反彈是一個可喜的跡象,我很高興看到更多的投資流向可再生能源領域。”
總體而言,國際能源署預計,2021年全球能源投資將達到1.9萬億美元,增長近10%,幾乎將彌補去年新冠肺炎疫情帶來造成的影響。全球在發(fā)電方面的支出今年將增加約5%,達到創(chuàng)紀錄的8200億美元。包括太陽能和風能在內的可再生能源將占新增發(fā)電能力的70%左右。
盡管有減少排放的壓力,國際能源署預計只有不到45%的全球投資投向清潔能源。這包括在可再生能源、輸電基礎設施、核能、電池、碳捕獲和能源效率方面的投資。要想把全球變暖控制在1.5攝氏度以內,未來十年對清潔能源的投資需要增加兩倍以上。
IEA表示,隨著私營企業(yè)面臨更多壓力,要求它們限制對氣候的影響,國有企業(yè)將在化石燃料投資中占更大比例,將引領油氣公司在清潔能源領域整體投資的轉變,而其中大部分是歐洲企業(yè),其一直承受著最大的減排壓力。

Big Oil’s Green-Spending Boost Isn’t Enough, IEA Says
The oil and gas industry is set to boost investments in clean energy this year, but that still won’t be enough to put the world on a path to limit a dangerous rise in global temperatures.
That’s the view of the International Energy Agency, which expects traditional fossil-fuel companies to increase climate-friendly investments to at least 4% of their capital spending, up from just 1% last year, according to a report Wednesday.
The figure underscores both the rapid pace that investment is tilting toward low-carbon sources as well as the scale of the challenge. The IEA said earlier this year that the world needs to stop development of new oil and gas fields as well as coal mines to limit global temperature increases.
“Much greater resources have to be mobilized and directed to clean energy technologies to put the world on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050,” said Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director. “The rebound in energy investment is a welcome sign, and I’m encouraged to see more of it flowing toward renewables.”
Overall, the IEA expects global investment in energy to reach $1.9 trillion in 2021, a nearly 10% gain that will almost make up for the decline caused by the fallout from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. Spending on power generation will increase about 5% this year to a record of more than $820 billion globally. Renewable power sources including solar and wind will make up about 70% of new capacity.
Despite the pressure to cut emissions, the IEA expects less than 45% of global investment in the sector to go toward clean energy. That includes spending on renewables, transmission infrastructure, nuclear power, batteries, carbon capture and energy efficiency. Investments in clean energy need to more than triple this decade to maintain the possibility of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
As more pressure comes on private companies to limit their climate impact, state-owned businesses will make up a greater proportion of fossil-fuel investments, the IEA said. Much of the shift that’s set to lead oil and gas companies’ overall investments in clean energy is driven by European firms that have been under the most pressure to cut emissions.
