???? 據油價網5月28日消息稱，Wood Mackenzie周四表示，盡管國際能源署（IEA）呼吁，如果世界想要在2050年實現凈零排放，就不需要為化石燃料提供新的資金，但亞洲需要對天然氣進行投資，以減少對污染更嚴重的煤炭的依賴。

????WoodMac亞太地區(qū)能源副主席Gavin Thompson在一份分析報告中寫道：“其他許多市場的煤炭需求仍在持續(xù)上升，轉向天然氣被視為實現減排目標的關鍵。”

????上周，國際能源署（IEA）表示，如果想在2050年前實現凈零排放，就不需要在石油、天然氣和煤炭領域進行任何新的投資，這一建議震驚了能源行業(yè)的所有利益相關者。

????亞洲可能是“不再投資化石燃料”這一理念的典型代表。在可再生能源增長到足以滿足該地區(qū)大部分電力需求之前，亞洲將需要更多的天然氣來取代燃煤發(fā)電能力。在許多國家，包括印度等主要發(fā)展中經濟體，燃煤發(fā)電能力仍然很高。

????WoodMac公司Thompson說：“事實上，我們預計，在亞洲一些國家，在可再生能源投資開始增加的同時，天然氣更積極地取代煤炭，最有可能實現更快的脫碳。”

????WoodMac: Asia Needs To Invest More In Gas To Lower Emissions

????Despite the call from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that no new funding for fossil fuels is necessary if the world wants to get on the net-zero 2050 pathway, Asia is the region where investments in gas are necessary to cut its reliance on the more polluting coal, Wood Mackenzie said on Thursday.

????“With coal demand continuing to rise across many other markets, switching to natural gas is seen as critical to emission reduction goals,” Gavin Thompson, Vice Chairman, Energy – Asia Pacific at WoodMac, wrote in an analysis.

????Last week, the International Energy Agency (IEA) shocked all stakeholders in the energy industry with its suggestion that the world doesn’t need any new investments in oil, gas, and coal beyond what is already approved if it hopes to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

????Asia is probably the poster child of the issue with the idea of ‘no investments in fossil fuels ever again.’ Until renewables rise so much as to meet most of the power demand in the region, Asia will need much more natural gas to replace coal-fired generation capacity, which is still high in many countries, including in the major developing economies such as India.

????“In fact, in some countries in Asia, we expect that faster decarbonisation is most likely to be achieved through an even greater role for gas to more aggressively displace coal while investment in renewables starts to ramp up,” WoodMac’s Thompson said.
