加快向可持续、可负担、包容性能源系统转型,为住宅取暖和照明、交通运输以及经济发展提供平价能源
全球能源行业经历巨变,创造出新的机遇。新型商业模式和技术改变能源的生产、输送和消耗方式,在电力行业尤其如此。能源使用的电气化程度提高,这主要是由于电动车辆使用的电池成本降低。有关氢气的讨论重返全球能源议程上,日益受到行业领袖和政府的关注。
但要充分实现安全、可持续和可负担的能源体系,我们依然任重而道远。能源相关温室气体排放的上升势头不减,与政府间气候变化专门委员会的建议和《巴黎气候协定》的承诺背道而驰。
平台将建立高级别多方利益相关者构成的特别工作组,拓展未来能源边界。我们召集政府、公民社会、能源技术公司、油气行业、汽车行业、私人投资者和其他重要产业的领袖,制定政策与监管建议以及创新投资模式,促进基础设施与行业创新。
