被忽视的“碳强度”:为什么这一指标对绿色转型至关重要?
在碳排放报告中,我们常常会忽视一个问题,即相同材料在不同生产过程中的排放量差异巨大。这种差异是由材料的碳强度造成的。以原油为例,其碳强度可能相差150倍之多。重视碳强度是客观评估“低碳”材料的关键,有助于减少当前供应链的排放量,并推动实现脱碳。
Mr. Terazawa was appointed as Chairman and CEO of the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan in July 2021.
Before joining IEEJ, he supported the then Minister Yasutoshi NISHIMURA as the Senior Advisor of the Cabinet Office between January and June 2021 to assist the Government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the formulation of the Growth Strategy including the Japanese "Green New Deal".
Earlier, he served at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan where he held leading positions including the Vice-Minister for International Affairs. In this role, he assisted the then Prime Minister Shinzo ABE, participating in many of the meetings with the leaders of the world. He also played a crucial role in the coordination for the 2019 G20 Osaka Summit. Through June 2011 to December 2012, he served as the Executive Secretary to the then Prime Minister Yoshihiko NODA. During this period, he assisted the Prime Minister on the Government’s multiple challenges to deal with the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
He is the Senior Specially Appointed Professor at the Tokyo University of Science, teaching international negotiations.
He is a graduate of the University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Law. He also studied at Harvard University in the United States, where he earned MBA in 1990.

The amount of emissions produced by commodities varies far more than many realize. Accounting for this variation in carbon intensity is key to decarbonization.
気候変動目標を達成するためには、すべての国から賛同を得る必要があります。つまり、エネルギー転換の計画を策定する上では、エネルギー市場の安定性やエネルギー安全保障、あるいはグローバル・サウスにおける公平な開発を犠牲にしてはならないのです。本稿では、COP28の交渉に臨むにあたり、グローバルリーダーたちが包摂性のあるエネルギー転換を実現するために考慮すべきことを紹介します。
Mientras los países se preparan para debatir sobre el clima en la COP28, garantizar que la transición energética mundial incluya a las naciones del Sur Global debe ser una prioridad.
Discover why ensuring the global energy transition remains inclusive for Global South nations must be a priority and a major discussion point at COP28.
As a 2010 diplomatic incident shows, countries should develop measures to avoid over-dependency on one supplier in rare earth minerals industries.
The global energy transition has plateaued, so we need to create an inclusive approach that provides both energy security and facilitates economic growth.
