欧盟同意到2050年实现净零排放

中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站12月13日消息 东欧国家要求财政援助来实现零排放的目标，欧盟在经过10小时的辩论后，同意到2050年将其总排放量削减至零。

路透社报道，波兰作为欧盟成员国被排除在协议之外。波兰反对这项雄心勃勃的排放计划，称其实施成本太高。今年10月，美国能源部长科尔泽夫斯基将实现这一目标的成本费用定在7.6亿美元至9.8亿美元之间，他说：“当然，这些成本显然将在数年内分摊，但当有人说波兰能够在2050年前实现零排放目标时，我认为这只是一个幻想。”

此前一天，欧盟批准了净零排放计划，该计划将耗资1117亿美元（1000亿欧元）。事实证明，在成员国之间分摊这些成本是很棘手的，同时也需要在各个国家的需求之间进行权衡。

The EU Agrees To Cut Emissions To Net Zero By 2050

The European Union agreed to cut its total emissions to net-zero by 2050 after ten hours of debates as Eastern European states demanded financial help to hit the target.

Reuters reports that one EU member state was left out of the agreement: Poland. Poland has opposed the ambitious emissions plan, saying it will cost too much to implement. In October, Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchorzewski put the price tag of this transition to between $760 and $980 million, saying “Of course, these costs would obviously be spread over years. But I treat it as a fantasy when someone says that Poland is able to reach the zero-emission goal by 2050.”

The agreement comes a day after the EU approved the net-zero emissions plan, which will cost it $111.7-billion (100 billion euro). Dividing these costs among the members proved to be tricky as well as navigating between the demands of individual countries.
