據天然氣新聞2021年4月20日倫敦報道，國際能源署（IEA）4月20日在其《2021年全球能源評論》中表示，今年全球與能源相關的二氧化碳排放量預計將激增近5%，達到330億噸，這是歷史上第二大增幅。

　　IEA表示，這將扭轉去年COVID-19大流行導致的大部分下降，并將是2010年以來排放量的最大年度增幅。

　　IEA署長法提赫?比羅爾表示：“受電力行業煤炭使用量復蘇的推動，今年全球碳排放量將激增15億噸。這是一個可怕的警告，表明從新冠肺炎疫情大流行危機中復蘇的經濟目前對我們的氣候來說絕不是可持續的?！?/span>

　　2021年，在新興市場和發展中經濟體的引領下，全球能源需求預計將增長4.6%，煤炭和天然氣消費量預計將超過2019年的水平。

　　比羅爾說：“全球能源需求預計增長的近70%將來自新興市場和發展中經濟體。發達經濟體的能源使用量將比新冠肺炎疫情爆發前的水平低3%。

　　Global energy CO2 emissions forecast to rise 5% in 2021 on revived coal burn: IEA

　　Global energy-related CO2 emissions are on course to surge by almost 5% in 2021 to 33 billion tonnes, the second-largest increase in history, the International Energy Agency said April 20 in its Global Energy Review 2021.

　　This would reverse most of last year's decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and represent the biggest annual rise in emissions since 2010, it said.

　　"Global carbon emissions are set to jump by 1.5 billion tonnes this year -- driven by the resurgence of coal use in the power sector. This is a dire warning that the economic recovery from the COVID crisis is currently anything but sustainable for our climate," said Fatih Birol, the IEA's executive director.

　　Global energy demand was set to increase by 4.6% in 2021, led by emerging markets and developing economies, with both coal and gas consumption set to rise above 2019 levels.

　　"Almost 70% of the projected increase in global energy demand is in emerging markets and developing economies. Energy use in advanced economies is on course to be 3% below pre-COVID levels," the IEA said.
