全球煤炭效率提升平台A Global Platform for Accelerating Coal Efficiency

•在巴黎举行第21届世界杯之前，没有证据表明任何气候条约引起的缓解行动接近实现必要的减排限制大气二氧化碳浓度达到450 ppm。•随着发展中经济体和发达经济体的增长和城市化随着需求的增长，人们越来越需要价格合理、可靠和安全的为消除能源贫困和确保竞争性经济。•这意味着煤炭仍然是世界上增长最快的化石燃料。目前对全球一次能源消费的贡献（30.1%）是1970年以来的最高值。仅东南亚的需求预计到2035年该地区将以每年4.8%的速度增长转向煤炭以满足其日益增长的能源需求•似乎没有协调一致的国际政府行动整合减少能源贫困和通过负担得起的能源支持经济竞争力在气候变化问题上有全球野心。•移动目前燃煤的全球平均效率通过采用更先进的现成技术，发电厂可将二氧化碳排放量从33%降至40%，可减少20亿吨现在的排放量，同时允许经济发展和减贫。•部署高效、低排放（HELE）燃煤发电在接近零排放的道路上，工厂是关键的第一步来自煤炭的碳捕获、使用和储存（CCUS）。

• In the lead-up to COP21 in Paris there is no evidence to suggest  that mitigation action arising from any climate treaty will come  close to achieving emissions reductions necessary to limit  atmospheric concentration of CO2 to 450ppm. • As developing and developed economies grow and urbanisation  increases, demand is growing for affordable, reliable and secure  forms of energy in order to combat energy poverty and ensure  competitive economies.  • This has meant that coal remains the world’s fastest growing fossil  fuel. Its current contribution to global primary energy consumption  (30.1%) is its highest since 1970. In Southeast Asia alone demand  is expected to grow by 4.8% a year through to 2035 as the region  turns to coal to fuel its growing energy needs • There appears to be no concerted international government action  to integrate the global priorities of reducing energy poverty and  supporting economic competitiveness through affordable energy  with global ambitions on climate change.  • Moving the current average global efficiency rate of coal-fired  power plants from 33% to 40% by deploying more advanced offthe-shelf technology could cut 2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions now,  while allowing affordable energy for economic development and  poverty reduction.  • Deploying high efficiency, low emission (HELE) coal-fired power  plants is a key first step along a pathway to near-zero emissions  from coal with carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS).
