在能源行业,气候变化的威胁是近年来关注的焦点。与此同时,其他两个问题也从这阴影中重新浮现出来。2008/09年的金融危机(一些分析师认为其同石油价格波动有关)更使人们担忧居高的能源价格可能削弱经济增长。新闻头条报道,乌克兰天然气供应量削减,索马里海岸油轮被劫持,尼日利亚石油管道爆炸,墨西哥湾的石油钻机被飓风摧毁,这些都表明能源安全威胁在以多种形式在各个意想不到的地方发生着。几年来,国际能源署提出需要一场基于低碳技术广泛应用的能源革命来应对气候变化的挑战。《能源技术展望2010》表明,低碳未来也是加强能源安全和促进经济发展的有力工具。
In the energy industry, the threat of climate change is the focus of attention in recent years. In the meantime, the other two issues are also emerging from the shadows. The financial crisis of 2008/09, which some analysts believe is linked to fluctuations in oil prices, has raised concerns that high energy prices may undermine economic growth. Headlines reported that the reduction of natural gas supplies in Ukraine, the hijacking of oil tankers off the coast of Somalia, the explosion of oil pipelines in Nigeria and the oil drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that were devastated by hurricanes mean that energy security threats are taking place in various forms in unexpected places. Over the years, the IEA has proposed the need for a climate change challenge based on the widespread use of low-carbon technologies in the energy revolution. Energy Technology Outlook 2010 shows that a low-carbon future is also a powerful tool to enhance energy security and promote economic development.
