摘要

新的碳信用和抵消机制正在根据《巴黎协定》制定。污染者可以通过获得和淘汰碳抵消信用额来实现其减排目标。在全球范围内,这些信贷大多来自可再生能源。然而,它们的附加性越来越受到质疑。全球可再生能源发电能力持续增长。随着各国政府和组织承诺减少排放,为能源转型调动更多资金,以及可再生能源技术具有商业竞争力,燃煤发电的温室气体排放量开始下降。对于可再生能源的发展来说,获得碳补偿额度的机会正变得越来越不不可或缺。当污染者通过使用可再生能源装置产生的碳信用额(这是基线情景的一部分)来增加其排放预算时,总排放量可能会超过基线水平。为了维护环境的完整性,应重新考虑将可再生能源纳入碳信用和抵消计划的条件。

Carbon offsetting and renewable energy development

New carbon crediting and offsetting mechanisms are being developed under the Paris Agreement. Polluters can meet their emission reduction targets by acquiring and retiring carbon offset credits. Globally, most of these credits come from renewable energy sources. However, their additionality is increasingly questionable. Global renewable electricity capacity continues to grow. Greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power generation are starting to fall, as governments and organisations pledge to curtail emissions, more capital is mobilised for energy transition, and renewable energy technologies become commercially competitive. The opportunity to earn carbon offset credits is becoming less indispensable to renewable energy development. Aggregate emissions could rise above the baseline level when polluters increase their emission budgets by using carbon credits generated from a renewable energy installation that is part of the baseline scenario. To safeguard environmental integrity, the conditions for including renewable energy in carbon crediting and offsetting schemes should be reconsidered.
