Industry View--LOW CARBON ENERGY: A NEW REALITY Brad Page, Global CCS Institute, Australia

摘要

Global consumption of fossil fuels continues to increase, driving growth in carbon dioxide (CO_2) emissions. Indeed, the energy sector accounts for two-thirds of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. In its World Energy Outlook 2014, the International Energy Agency anticipates that coal and gas will remain the most important fuel sources for electricity generation for the foreseeable future. Equally, the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finds that carbon emissions from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas are rising to record levels, not falling.
