尽管中国电力需求快速增长，但清洁能源发电的增长首次使该国的二氧化碳（CO2）排放量出现下降。 Carbon Brief的最新分析显示，2025年第一季度，中国的碳排放量同比下降了1.6%，过去12个月则下降了1%。 新增风电、太阳能和核电的装机容量所带来的出力，足以应对电力需求激增，从而削减燃煤发电量；而此前的排放下降则主要被归因于经济增长放缓。 这项基于官方数据和商业数据的分析显示，中国的碳排放量一年多来一直保持稳定或下降。 不过，该排放量仅比最近的峰值低1%，这意味着只要出现短期反弹，中国的碳排放就可能创下新高。 其他主要发现包括： 清洁能源发电增长速度已经超过当前及长期电力需求增长平均值，从而压低了化石燃料的使用量。 截至2025年3月的12个月内，电力行业的碳排放同比下降了2%。 若这一趋势得以保持，意味着中国电力行业排放可能已达峰并开始持续下降。 美国总统特朗普发动的“贸易战”促使中国更加努力将经济重心从出口转向内需。 新出台的可再生能源电价政策催生了“抢装潮”，企业争相在政策实施前完成项目建设。 如果中国要实现在《巴黎协定》下承诺的2030年排放目标，仍面临日益扩大的差距需要弥补。 上微信关注《碳简报》 如果这种因清洁能源增长而带来的电力行业碳排放下降趋势得以延续，可能预示着Carbon…
