石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯6月10日伦敦报道，立法者周一发布的一份报告称，到2021年，英国必须停止向海外化石燃料项目提供资金，因为这会破坏英国应对气候变化的努力。
这份报告的目标是英国出口金融局提供的财政支持。报告发表之际，英国正在讨论制定更严格的气候目标的计划，以及到2050年实现净零排放的目标。
“政府声称英国在应对气候变化方面处于世界领先地位，”环境审计委员会主席玛丽•克里格在评论该委员会发布的报告时表示。
她表示:“但在幕后，英国的出口融资计划正拿出数十亿英镑纳税人的钱，用于在较贫穷国家开发化石燃料项目。”
报告称，旨在帮助英国企业赢得海外合同的UKEF在2013年4月起的五年内，将其能源部门支持的96%，即25亿英镑(32亿美元)用于支持化石燃料项目。
“随着世界向低碳经济转型，英国政府充分认识到应对气候变化的重要性，以及混合使用能源和技术的必要性，”英国kef的一位代表表示。
该委员会表示，这种支持与英国减少温室气体排放的努力不相符，也给纳税人带来了风险。
随着更严格的减排目标抑制化石燃料的使用，以及可再生能源变得更便宜，企业可能会陷入困境。
2015年，近200个国家通过了《巴黎气候协议》。该协议设定了一个长期目标，将全球变暖幅度控制在“远低于”工业化前的水平，即比工业化前高出2摄氏度，同时力争达到一个更严格的目标，即仅高出1.5摄氏度。

Britain must end financial help for fossil fuel projects abroad - lawmakers
Britain must stop financing fossil fuel projects abroad by 2021 as it undermines the nation's efforts to combat climate change, a report by lawmakers said on Monday.
The report, which targets financial support provided by the UK Export Finance (UKEF) agency, was published as Britain debates plans to set tougher climate goals and move towards a net zero emissions target by 2050.
"The government claims that the UK is a world leader on tackling climate change," said Mary Creagh, chair of the Environment Audit Committee, commenting on the report published by the committee.
"But behind the scenes the UK's export finance schemes are handing out billions of pounds of taxpayers money to develop fossil fuel projects in poorer countries," she said.
UKEF, which aims to help British businesses win contracts abroad, allocated 96% of its energy sector support, or 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion), to support fossil fuel projects in five years from April 2013, the report said.
"The UK government fully recognises the importance of tackling climate change and the need for a mix of energy sources and technologies as the world transitions to a low carbon economy," a UKEF representative said.
The committee said the support was incompatible with Britain's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and also carried risks for taxpayers.
Companies could be left with stranded assets as tougher emission reduction targets discouraged fossil fuel use and as renewable energy becomes cheaper.
The Paris climate agreement, adopted by almost 200 nations in 2015, set a long-term goal to limit global warming to "well below" a rise of 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times while striving towards a tougher goal of just 1.5 degrees.
