中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社東京報道，周二，日本政府的一個小組敦促日本通過廣泛使用二氧化碳捕獲技術和降低生產成本等創(chuàng)新措施，在2050年后盡快實現(xiàn)碳中和。

與此同時，日本正在制定一項長期的低排放戰(zhàn)略，以提交聯(lián)合國，具體說明如何實現(xiàn)在2015年簽署《巴黎協(xié)議》時做出的承諾，將本世紀全球氣溫上升幅度控制在2攝氏度以下。

該提案強調了新的目標，如到2030年碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）和碳捕獲和利用（CCU）的商業(yè)化，以及減少生產無二氧化碳氫的成本，但它推遲了煤炭融資或碳稅方向的概述。

該小組表示，為了幫助實現(xiàn)《巴黎協(xié)議》限制全球變暖的目標，日本應該在幾年內開發(fā)商用CCU技術，并在2030年前開始商用CCS和CCU，同時考慮出口此類技術。

由學術專家和商界領袖組成的小組還表示，日本應在2050年之前將無二氧化碳氫的生產成本降低到十分之一，這將低于液化天然氣的生產成本。

日本因大量使用燃煤發(fā)電和計劃建設新的燃煤發(fā)電廠而受到批評。

該小組敦促日本將其對燃煤發(fā)電的依賴降低到“盡可能低的水平”，但沒有給出具體的目標。

環(huán)保人士還指責日本為建設燃煤電廠的海外項目提供資金。

該小組鼓勵日本的資本市場變得更加綠色（環(huán)保），但沒有說日本應該停止煤炭融資。

此外，該小組還表示，日本需要進一步討論碳定價問題，盡管日本環(huán)境部的專家組已經討論這一問題近兩年了。

日本環(huán)境部的一位官員說，日本計劃在6月于日本舉行的20國集團(G20)峰會之前制定其長期戰(zhàn)略。

Government panel urges Japan to be carbon-neutral soon after 2050

A Japanese government panel on Tuesday urged the country to aim to be carbon-neutral as soon as possible after 2050 through innovations such as the wide use of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology and lower cost hydrogen production.

The proposal comes as Japan is mapping out a long-term low-emissions strategy to be submitted to the United Nations to flesh out how to reach commitments made under the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep the rise in global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius this century.

The proposal highlights new targets such as the commercialization of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) by 2030 and a reduction in costs of producing CO2-free hydrogen, but it postponed an outline on the direction of coal financing or a carbon tax.

To help achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global warming, Japan should develop commercial CCU technology within several years and start commercial use of CCS and CCU by 2030, while considering exporting such technologies, the panel said.

The panel, a group of academic experts and business leaders, also said Japan should cut the costs of producing CO2-free hydrogen to one-tenth by 2050, which would become lower than liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Japan has been criticized for its heavy use of coal-fired power generation and plans to build new coal-fired plants.

The panel urged Japan to cut its dependency on coal-fired power generation to the “l(fā)owest possible levels”, but stopped short of giving a specific target.

Environmental activists also blame Japan for financing overseas projects to build coal-fired power plants.

The panel encouraged Japan’s capital markets to become greener, but did not say Japan should stop coal financing.

Also, it said Japan needed further discussions on carbon pricing although the environment ministry’s panels have been discussing the issue for almost two years.

Japanese plans to lay out its long-term strategy ahead of a summit of the Group of 20 major economies to be held in June in Japan, an official at environment ministry said.?
