據今日油價網站5月19日消息 西班牙政府正在提議新的立法，使該國承諾最遲在2050年實現凈零碳排放，如果獲得批準，將立即禁止所有新的石油、天然氣和煤炭項目。

 

據BusinessGreen報道，西班牙政府提出的這項法案仍需議會批準，該法案還將致力于在2050年前使西班牙的發電量僅來自可再生能源。根據法律草案，到2040年，西班牙道路上的所有車輛也必須實現零排放。

 

西班牙內閣希望，新的立法如果獲得通過，將標志著該國及其經濟在COVID-19大流行病（西班牙是世界上受影響最嚴重的國家之一）之后的復蘇進程。

 

新的立法將使西班牙履行其在巴黎協議下的承諾，并在歐盟綠色協議中發揮關鍵作用。

 

如果該法案成為法律，西班牙將加入另一個主要的歐洲經濟體英國，將凈零承諾寫入法律。

 

去年6月，英國成為世界上第一個將其到2050年將溫室氣體排放量降至零的目標寫入法律的主要經濟體。根據這項法律，英國將被要求在2050年前實現凈零碳排放，而此前的目標是在1990年的基礎上至少減排80%。

 

今年早些時候，歐盟委員會提議將歐洲綠色協議關于2050年前碳中和的承諾寫入立法，作為歐盟高度重視氣候行動和政策的一部分。

 

根據一項歐洲氣候法，2050年碳中和目標將具有法律約束力，所有歐盟機構和成員國將集體承擔在歐盟和國家一級采取必要措施實現這一目標的義務。

Spain Targets Net Zero Emissions By 2050

 

Spain’s government is proposing new legislation to have the country commit to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest, which, if approved, will ban all new oil, gas, and coal projects with immediate effect.

 

The bill, presented by the government that still requires Parliament approval, will also aim to make Spain’s electricity generation coming only from renewable sources by 2050, BusinessGreen reports. All vehicles on Spanish roads will also have to be zero-emission by 2040, according to the draft law.

 

The Spanish cabinet hopes that the new legislation, if passed, could mark the course to recovery for the country and its economy after the COVID-19 pandemic, in which Spain is one of the worst affected countries in the world.

 

The new legislation would put Spain on course to fulfill its pledges under the Paris Agreement and play a crucial part in the EU Green Deal.

 

If the bill becomes law, Spain will join another major European economy, the UK, in enshrining a net-zero pledge into law.

 

In June last year, the UK became the first major economy in the world to enshrine into law its target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Under the law, the UK will be required to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, compared to a previous target of at least an 80-percent emissions reduction from 1990 levels.

 

Earlier this year, the European Commission proposed enshrining the European Green Deal’s commitment for carbon neutrality by 2050 into legislation as part of the European Union’s heightened focus on climate action and policy.

 

Under a European Climate Law, the 2050 carbon neutrality target would become legally binding and all EU institutions and member states will be collectively bound to take the necessary measures at the EU and national level to meet that target.
