【中電篇-節能減排有資助?優化資源節省電費】
今年聯合國氣候峰會於2024年11月22日舉行,各國都努力於節能減排,而香港的兩間電力公司,包括中電及港燈都有相關資助可以申請,我們將於本文首先向你介紹中電現行的節能資助計劃,申請人有甚麼條件?包括那些節能工程?如何申請?成為綠色建築物不單止可以大副節省建築物的經營成本,亦可提企業形象及可持續性,現時在節能上香港的成績依然未能說得上理想,建築 根據聯合國環境規劃署於10月末發布《2024年排放差距報告》指出,各國現行的節能政策效果並不足夠,全球減碳行動不足可能導致全球氣溫在本世紀末上升多達攝氏3.1度,極端天氣事件發生機率增加數倍,而海平面亦會大幅上升。如要實現《巴黎協定》把升溫控制在攝氏1.5度的目標,全球須在2030年之前及2035年之前分別減少42%及57%的溫室氣體排放,各國透過現有技術積極採取實際行動完全可以實現這個目標,令社會經濟和環境共同受惠,提高可持續性。
