美国曾幻想将中国从"神坛"上拉下，然而中国始终稳如泰山，面对美国暂停油气进口，我们的能源供应几乎未受影响，反而让特朗普的能源大亨们心痛不 已。这一反制策略精准而强硬，而美国为何如此焦虑？中国是如何做到毫不畏惧的呢？ 今年2月，中国对美国的原油和天然气加征关税，初期税率在10%到15%之间，而到了4月，这一数字直接跃升至145%。这一强硬措施使得美国的能源出口几 乎无缘进入中国市场，按照常理，这种情况下国内能源供应应该会出现一些波动，但实际情况却令人惊讶。4月28日，国家发展改革委副主任赵辰昕在新闻 发布会上简洁地表示"没有影响"，看似简单的表态，实际上透露着中国在能源领域的雄厚底气。 据透露，中国从美国进口的油气量大幅下降，液化天然气（LNG）已连续两个月零进口。然而，这点美国的油气量对中国庞大的能源体系来说，根本不算 什么。全球市场上的供应商多如牛毛，沙特、俄罗斯、卡塔尔、澳大利亚等国都能随便提供所需。3月和4月，全球经济疲软，原油需求下降，油价也出现下 滑，中国趁机大举采购，库存堆得满满的。国际能源署数据显示，到2025年初，全球原油供应将依然保持宽松，而OPEC的减产策略又为中国的能源采购提 供了足够的 ...

报道称，中国电池企业已占据全球储能系统近90%的产能，在美国和欧洲市场份额分别超过80%和 75%。然而，随着美国关税壁垒的升级，韩国电池企业正试图借机在欧美市场重振旗鼓。 储能系统通过管理软件调控成组电池模块，帮助国家电网及家庭、企业和工厂应对风能和太阳能供应的 波动。未来十年，随着人工智能硬件、电动汽车等清洁技术对电力需求的激增，储能系统还将为电网提 供关键备用支持。 国际能源署本月报告预测，AI数据中心全球用电需求将在未来五年翻番，占美国2030年前电力需求增 长的近半数。电池咨询公司Rho Motion研究主管Iola Hughes指出："储能常被视为可再生能源领域最缺 乏吸引力的环节，但它恰恰是未来保障各国电力稳定的核心技术。" 据Rho Motion数据，储能电池市场份额已从2020年的5%攀升至当前的20%。全球储能容量在2023-2024 年间增长52%，预计将从去年的340吉瓦时跃升至2030年的760吉瓦时（相当于760万辆电动汽车电池总 和）。蓬勃发展的储能市场甚至帮助特斯拉弥补了电动汽车销售疲软——其家用Powerwall和电网级 Megapack储能产品需求激增，CEO马斯克称该业务 ...
