在全球能源格局的变革中,越来越多的国家意识到,通过热泵供暖器、热泵热水器、电炉等家用电器实现室内用能的电气化是一种更经济、更安全的减排脱碳路径。尽管天然气相对来说是较为清洁的能源选择,但仍然是一种会产生污染和碳排放的化石燃料。作为能源消耗的主要领域,建筑领域应该逐渐削减对天然气的依赖。 深度电气化会显著减少天然气的需求,同时使天然气管网的利用率降低,对相关的产业与用户带来不可忽视的影响。2019年,英国确立了2050年净零排放温室气体的目标,加大力度的电气化持续影响着与天然气相关的行业。本文聚焦讨论建筑电气化对英国的天然气配售管网以及电气化政策的影响。英国所面临的挑战及应对方式,可能为其他承诺减排的国家提供有价值的参考,我们期望通过对其具体情况的分析,为全球各地的政策制定者带来些许启发。 本文首发于《中国能源观察》杂志2月刊,原标题为“建筑用能电气化转型:可否跳过天然气环节?”… View Summary +

Stellungnahme zum Eckpunktepapier der Bundesnetzagentur Die gestiegenen Kosten des Stromnetzausbaus machen sich zunehmend in den Netzentgelten bemerkbar, die Bestandteil jeder Stromrechnung sind. Auswertungen zeigen, dass die verdichteten, städtischen Netzregionen günstiger sind als die ländlichen Netze. Aufgrund der Korrelation der Netzkosten… View Summary +
Electrifying long-haul freight across Europe can dramatically reduce emissions from transport to help meet climate goals. To advance the use of electric trucks, Member States will need to build more high-capacity charging, or ‘megawatt charging,’ infrastructure along core freight corridors. View Summary +
