中国低碳发展的能源资源基础

Energy Resource Base of China's Low-Carbon Development

能源消费是碳排放的主要来源。在向低碳社会转型的过程中,能源资源发挥着关键作用。中国作为最大的发展中国家,一方面要推进发展与改革进程,加快现代化步伐,另一方面,又面临着发展过程中能源短缺与环境污染的双重压力。低碳经济是指碳生产率和人文发展均达到一定水平的经济形态,是以低能耗、低污染、低排放为基础的经济模式,是人类社会继农业文明、工业文明之后的又一次重大进步,其实质是能源高效利用、清洁能源开发和可持续发展的问题,核心是能源技术和减排技术创新、产业结构和制度创新以及人类生存发展观念的根本性转变。本文通过对中国能源资源基础的深入分析,探讨中国低碳发展的能源条件和瓶颈,旨在为中国低碳发展政策的实施提供必要的科学支持。

As energy consumption is the major source of carbon emissions, energy resources play a key role in the course of the transformation to a low- carbon society. As the largest developing country, on one hand, China should promote the course of development and reform to accelerate the pace of modernization. On the other hand, China is facing dual pressures from energy shortage and environmental pollution. Low- carbon economy refers to an economic pattern that both carbon productivity and human development have reached certain levels. As an economic form based on low - energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions, the concept of low - carbon economy is another great improvement after the agricultural civilization and the industrial civilization, which is in essence the high - efficiency energy utilization, exploitation and sustainable development of clean energies, and also centers on technical innovations of energy and emission reduction, industrial structural and institutional innovations as well as fundamental conceptual changes on human existence and development. Through in - depth analysis on China＇ s energy resource base, this paper intends to discuss energy conditions and bottlenecks of low - carbon development in China and provide necessary scientific supports to implement policies for low- carbon development.
