近日，英国能源研究所发布的年度世界能源统计回顾显示，尽管可再生能源使用量创下历史新高，但由于化石燃料消耗持续攀升，2024年全球能源领域的二氧化碳排放量连续第四年创历史新高。

According to the latest Statistical Review of World Energy jointly published by the Energy Institute (EI), KPMG, and Kearney, global CO₂ emissions from the energy sector hit a new record high for the fourth consecutive year in 2024. This occurred despite renewable energy use reaching an all-time high, as fossil fuel consumption continued its upward trajectory

报告数据凸显了当前世界经济试图摆脱对化石燃料依赖的挑战，俄乌冲突已重塑俄罗斯的油气流向，而中东地区的战乱则引发了全球对能源供应安全的担忧。去年全球气温达到有记录以来最高值，较工业化前水平首次超过1.5°C。

The data in the report underscores the challenges facing the global economy in its attempt to break free from fossil fuel dependence. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has reshaped the flow of Russia's oil and gas, while ongoing conflicts in the Middle East have sparked global concerns over energy supply security. Last year, global temperatures reached their highest level on record, exceeding the pre-industrial average by 1.5°C for the first time.

报告指出，2024年全球能源供应总量同比增长2%，石油、天然气、煤炭、核能、水电和可再生能源等所有能源类型均实现增长，这导致2024年能源领域碳排放量同比增加约1%，达到408亿吨二氧化碳当量，超过前一年创下的纪录。在2024年全球消耗的化石燃料中，天然气增幅最大，同比增长达2.5%;煤炭增长1.2%，仍是全球最大发电来源;石油增幅则低于1%。与此同时，风能和太阳能在2024年扩张16%，增速是能源总需求的9倍。

The report points out that global total energy supply grew by 2% year-on-year in 2024, with all energy types—including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, hydropower, and renewable energy—recording growth. This contributed to a roughly 1% year-on-year increase in carbon emissions from the energy sector in 2024, reaching 4.08 billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent, surpassing the record set the previous year. Among fossil fuels consumed globally in 2024, natural gas saw the largest growth, rising by 2.5% year-on-year; coal grew by 1.2% and remained the world’s largest source of electricity generation; while oil growth was below 1%. Meanwhile, wind and solar energy expanded by 16% in 2024, with a growth rate nine times that of total energy demand.

能源研究所作为由各级能源专业人士组成的行业机构，去年联合毕马威和科尔尼咨询公司，接棒英国石油公司(BP)负责撰写该报告。追踪进展的分析人士指出，尽管新增可再生能源装机量屡创新高，但全球仍未走上实现2030年可再生能源容量翻三倍目标的正轨。

The Energy Institute, an industry body comprising energy professionals at all levels, took over from BP (British Petroleum) last year to compile the report in collaboration with KPMG and Kearney. Analysts tracking the progress note that despite record-breaking growth in new renewable energy installations, the world is still not on track to meet the goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030.

报告联合作者、科尔尼咨询公司的罗曼·德巴雷(Romain

stated in a declaration: "Last year, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, the global energy landscape reached another turning point." Wafa Jafri, a partner at KPMG,

noted: "The COP28 conference put forward the ambitious vision of tripling global renewable energy by 2030, but actual progress has been uneven. Despite the rapid global growth rate, it still falls short of the required pace."
