自第一次工业革命以来,煤、石油、天然气等化石能源的发现和利用极大地推动了经济社会的发展,同时也带来了严重的环境污染和气候变化问题,尽早实现“碳达峰、碳中和”已经成为保护地球家园的全球共识。随着数字技术(Digital Technology)在生产生活中的创新应用,数字技术对实现碳中和的作用日益受到关注。一方面,以云计算、大数据和物联网等为代表的数字技术有望重塑企业生产流程和能源系统,从而大幅提升能源利用效率,直接助力行业减少碳排放;另一方面,数字技术衍生的新业态、对经济结构和能源结构的优化以及对消费者生活和消费方式转变的促进,均可间接助力“碳达峰、碳中和”的实现。为了系统研究这个问题,本文首先分析数字设备、数字技术和数字产业发展对能源消费和绿色经济发展的影响机制。其次全面阐述数字经济对绿色发展的途径和有益探索。最后从中国企业的实践出发,总结京东集团的探索及其为数字经济促进行业和地区减排做出的表率作用,以期为未来实现节能减排提供有益的借鉴。
Since the first industrial revolution,the discovery and utilization of fossil energy such as coal,oil,and natural gas have greatly promoted the development of economy and society,but also caused serious problems of environmental pollution and climate change. “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals” has become a global consensus to protect the earth’s homeland. With the innovative application of digital technology in production and living activities,the role of digital technology in achieving carbon neutrality has attracted increasing attention. On the one hand,digital technologies represented by cloud computing,big data and the Internet of Things are expected to reshape the production process and energy system of enterprises,thereby greatly improving energy efficiency and directly helping the industry to reduce carbon emissions;on the other hand,digital technologies derived New business formats,optimization of the economic structure and energy structure,and the promotion of changes in consumers’ life and consumption patterns can all indirectly contribute to the realization of the goal of “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality”. In order to systematically study this issue,this paper first analyzes the impact mechanism of digital equipment,digital technology and digital industry development on energy consumption and green economic development,then comprehensively expounds the ways and beneficial exploration of digital economy on green development,and finally analyzes the practice of Chinese enterprises. Starting from the beginning,summarize the exploration of Jing Dong(JD).com and its exemplary role in promoting industry and regional emission reduction by the digital economy,in order to provide a useful reference for future energy conservation and emission reduction.
