解读:中国如何应对数据中心能源增长的需求
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…
