《中国传统能源地区低碳转型》报告发布

Core Insights - The report focuses on the low-carbon transition pathways for the "Coal Triangle Region" in China, which includes Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, highlighting its significance in national energy security and global coal production [1][2] Group 1: Current State and Challenges - The "Coal Triangle Region" is a major coal production area, expected to produce 3.45 billion tons of coal in 2024, accounting for 73% of China's total and 37% of global production, with carbon emissions representing 19.6% of China's and 6.4% of global emissions [1] - The region faces significant risks of "lock-in" due to its reliance on coal-based industries, which constitute about 20.3% of the industrial GDP, limiting diversification and transition capabilities [1][2] - The transition process is challenged by insufficient funding and structural employment imbalances, with an estimated need for approximately 1.8 trillion RMB (around 250 billion USD) for transition funding from 2025 to 2030 [3] Group 2: Future Projections and Employment Impact - By 2060, the region is projected to have a remaining carbon emission of 0.15 to 2.75 billion tons, necessitating reliance on ecological carbon sinks and negative carbon technologies for offsetting [2] - The transition is expected to result in a net loss of about 3.4 million jobs in coal-based industries, while green energy-related jobs may increase from 330,000 to 1.4 million, indicating a persistent structural pressure in the labor market [3] Group 3: Policy Recommendations - The report suggests establishing a national strategy for energy transition and regional coordinated development, setting specific low-carbon transition goals for the "Coal Triangle Region" [4] - It recommends creating collaborative mechanisms within and between regions to facilitate the green low-carbon transition [4] - The report emphasizes the need for diversified funding solutions to support the green low-carbon transition and the establishment of an international exchange platform for resource-based regions [4]
