中国农机排放量上升或“阻碍”净零目标实现
新研究显示,中国来自农业机械的碳排放快速增长,可能会“阻碍”该国实现净零排放的目标。 这项发表在《自然-食品》(Nature Food)期刊上的研究发现,自1985年以来,中国农业机械CO2(二氧化碳)排放量增加了大约七倍。 研究人员利用政府发布的不同时期农机数量统计数据,计算了1985年至2020年期间CO2排放量及其他空气污染物的变化。 他们发现,自1985年以来,农业机械的CO2排放量平均每年增长近6%。 研究指出,按照中国实现2060年净零排放目标的路径,若农业机械化程度按“预期趋势”继续提升,其相关排放在2050年可能占中国总排放量的21%。 上微信关注《碳简报》 作者表示,这可能会使中国实现减排目标更加困难,并导致空气质量“恶化”。 然而,研究还发现,如果广泛采用由可再生能源驱动的农业机械,有望减少65%至70%的相关排放。 一位未参与该研究的专家对Carbon Brie…
