降低中国新煤电项目投资战略

2019 年 5 月，中国国家能源局放松了对新建燃煤电厂的限制，给 8 个省份的新煤电项目开了绿灯 。 由于新建燃煤电项目的经济性越来越不确定，即使项目可以通过能源局三管齐下预警体系的评估，但仍不符合中国的长期国家利益。对煤电项目的新投资会对资产、机制、环境等方面产生风险。我们认为需要通过加强现有措施和持续实施现有的三个政策方向，即（ 1 ）电力规划和投资，（ 2 ）电力市场，（ 3 ）环境监管 ，来减少这些风险。 本文突出了政策制定者可以采取的具体措施，以降低风险，实现中国的长期能源和气候目标。 点击右侧 Download Document 下载全文 This paper is also available in English….

实现清洁空气和低碳目标的最佳实践(节选)

本文是睿博能源智库《实现清洁空气和低碳目标的最佳实践》（英文版）的节选。该手册提供了降低危险排放物和温室气体的方法和步骤，建议将清洁能源政策和能源效率的环境效益纳入空气质量规划，并对最佳实践进行了总结。空气质量管理的综合方法将帮助中国的政策制定者更快、更具成本效益地实现公共健康和温室气体减排目标。因为这种方法解决了污染的根本原因 – 而不仅仅是管道末端。 借鉴最近的经验，例如欧盟成员国的零废物目标，美国各州的综合能源和空气质量规划等，我们就如何调整这些政策以实现中国的目标做出建议。建议包括： 使用空气质量模型和规划来评估可再生能源和能效的好处，并纳入空气质量管理规划中； 在空气质量规划中使用睿博能源智库（RAP）节能模板； 建立信息中心以展示最佳实践； 将使用能源管理体系作为发放环境许可的条件； 鼓励通过竞赛改善能源和环境绩效；和 简化空气质量数据和许可证的信息收集系统。 这些方法具有成本效益，可产生协同效益，包括减少废水和废物排放，降低消费者和企业的能源消耗。中国现有的法律和政策框架下，可以将这些方法纳入空气质量规划和排放许可系统中，以实现完善目标。 本文所述的流程和实践将有助于中国更快地实现空气质量目标，确保不受短期经济因素影响进展，并减少温室气体排放。 点击右侧Download Document下载报告…
