《BP世界能源展望》认为，随着时间的推移，人工智能可能对能源系统产生更为广泛的影响，既涉及 能源供给，也涉及整个经济体的能源需求。对数据中心电力需求的任何预测都存在高度不确定性。一方 面，这取决于人工智能的发展及其普及速度；另一方面，更关键的是取决于数据中心的能源效率，而后 者近年来大幅提升：2010年~2024年间，数字数据流量增长超过25倍，但同期数据中心的能源使用量仅 翻了一番。 人工智能对能源行业有何影响？近期，英国石油公司（BP）发布的《BP世界能源展望》2025版和国际 能源署发布的《世界能源展望2025》双双对这一热点话题进行了分析研究。两份报告均揭示，以数据中 心为核心载体的人工智能技术，正以前所未有的规模和速度重塑全球能源格局。 《BP世界能源展望》详细分析了人工智能对全球能源系统的影响。受人工智能使用快速增长的推动， 数据中心的用电需求不断上升，这可能对电力需求产生显著提振作用。到2035年，数据中心用电量增长 约占全球电力需求增量的十分之一。但在不同地区和国家的影响程度存在差异，例如在美国，未来10年 数据中心需求增长预计占到电力需求增长总量的40%。 《BP世界能源展望》强调，人工智能 ...

尽管自2025年4月以来，OPEC+已逐步恢复约290万桶/日的供应量，但联盟目前仍维持着324万桶/日的 减产规模，其中包括124万桶/日的"自愿减产"和自2022年起实施的200万桶/日基准减产。面对分析师频 频警告的"供应过剩"风险，OPEC+选择维持产量政策不变，显示出其对市场稳定的谨慎态度。这一产 能评估机制的建立，将为OPEC+未来一年的内部政治格局奠定基础。各成员国即将围绕2027年产量基 线展开关键谈判。 中化新网讯 11月30日，石油输出国组织(OPEC)和产油国联盟在会议上决定，将现有石油产量政策维持 至2026年一季度不变。这一符合市场预期的决定推动国际油价小幅回升，布伦特原油上涨1.22%至每桶 63.14美元，WTI原油上涨1.25%至每桶59.28美元。 此次会议最重要的成果是正式通过了一项历史性的产能评估机制。根据该机制，OPEC+将在2026年1月 至9月期间，对19个成员国的最大可持续产能进行全面评估，评估结果将作为制定2027年产量配额的基 准。这一决定解决了联盟内部长期存在的争议，特别是满足了像阿联酋这样认为自身增长产能未在当前 配额中得到充分体现的成员国的诉求。 沙特能 ...
