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。
Dr Bassam Fattouh is the Director of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (OIES) and Professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He has published a variety of articles on energy policy, the international oil pricing system, OPEC behavior, the energy transition, and the economies of oil producing countries. Dr Fattouh served as a member of an independent expert group established to provide recommendations to the 12th International Energy Forum (IEF) Ministerial Meeting in Cancun (29-31 March 2010) for strengthening the architecture of the producer-consumer dialogue through the IEF and reducing energy market volatility. He is the recipient of the 2018 OPEC Award for Research. He acts as an advisor to a number of governments and companies. He is a regular speaker at international conferences.
Bassam Fattouh focuses his research on aspects of the international oil pricing system such as the relationship between the futures market and spot market, the relationship between OPEC and the market, the causes of oil price volatility and the dynamics of oil price differentials. He also focuses his research on the IOC-NOC relationship and its implications for investment behaviour. He has a strong background in the economic environment of the Middle East.

The amount of emissions produced by commodities varies far more than many realize. Accounting for this variation in carbon intensity is key to decarbonization.
