解读：中国如何应对数据中心能源增长的需求 - Carbon Brief

1 week ago | carbonbrief.org | Yuan Ye

人工智能（AI）等技术的蓬勃发展带动了中国数据中心的“爆发式增长”，同时也推高了能源消耗和碳排放。截至2023年底，中国以449个数据中心的数量位居亚太地区之首。国际能源署（IEA）最新报告显示，2024年中国数据中心用电量已占全球数据中心用电总量的25%，成为仅次于美国的全球第二大电力消耗国。与各国情况类似，中国数据中心用电量预计将在未来几年持续快速增长，人工智能的兴起是重要推动因素之一。不过，当前实际需求规模及未来增速仍存在不确定性。现阶段，其他驱动因素对电力需求增长的影响仍远大于数据中心。虽然各方对数据中心的预测数据存在差异，但有报告指出，其电力需求可能从2025年的100-200TWh（太瓦时）激增至2030年的600TWh，相应的CO2排放量或将达到200MtCO2e（百万吨二氧化碳当量）。尽管中央和地方政府已出台多项政策以应对数据中心的环境影响，但挑战依然存在。...

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies has driven the “surging” growth of data centres in China, with associated increases in energy demand and emissions. There were 449 data centres in China at the end of 2023, the most in the Asia-Pacific region. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says in a new report that China accounted for 25% of global data-centre electricity consumption in 2024, the second largest consumer following the US.
Q&A: How China became the world's leading market for energy storage

Jan 23, 2025 | carbonbrief.org | Yuan Ye

China’s energy storage sector is rapidly expanding. As a solution to balancing the country’s growing energy needs and mass renewable energy production, the industry has attracted investments worth hundreds of billions of yuan (tens of billions of dollars). This has seen China become the world’s largest market for energy storage deployment. Its capacity of “new type” energy storage systems, such as batteries, quadrupled in 2023 alone.
