中国当局发布新排放规则，针对战略性行业包括AI数据中心，以实现2030年气候目标。此举正值伊朗战争强化能源安全需求之际。文件还要求提升数据中心和通信网络的能源效率。
中国国务院和中央委员会于周三发布文件，针对重工业和数字基础设施制定新排放规定，以推动2030年气候目标的实现。文件强调通过冷却系统升级和其他措施，提高数据中心和通信网络每单位计算能力的能源效率。
“数字基础设施的纳入值得注意，”能源与清洁空气研究中心高级顾问沈欣怡表示。“这反映出人们日益认识到，AI和数字化等新需求驱动因素可能成为能源消费的重要增量来源。”
重工业仍是主要焦点，因其在中国排放构成中占主导地位，沈欣怡补充说，更详细的行业目标可能随后出台。当天，中央委员会和国务院还发布新评估措施，要求地方政府制定减碳行动计划以达成气候目标。
文件承诺加强碳减排政策与产业规划的协调，包括利用数字和绿色技术升级传统产业。此举也回应了伊朗战争对能源安全的强化需求。
