据俄罗斯油气网6月20日布鲁塞尔报道，欧盟气候与能源专员米格尔·阿里亚斯·卡涅特表示，欧盟28个成员国中有8个成员国已承诺在2030年前逐步淘汰燃煤发电，以减少温室气体排放。欧盟委员会已收到了这8个成员国的承诺，这是对欧盟实现2015年巴黎气候协定努力的贡献。

卡涅特说，在引入或确定这一时间表的欧盟国家中，法国打算在2022年前逐步淘汰煤炭，意大利和爱尔兰打算在2025年前逐步淘汰煤炭。丹麦、西班牙、荷兰、葡萄牙和芬兰的目标是在2030年前实现这一目标。

站在卡涅特一边的欧盟委员会副主席塞夫科维奇说，这些承诺“是相当多的成员国发出的相当重要的信号”。欧盟委员会还表示，作为欧盟最强大的经济体和最大的污染国，德国也表示将为燃煤发电设定一个“终止日期”。

一位欧盟官员告诉法新社记者，欧盟包括严重依赖煤炭的波兰在内的其余20个成员国迄今还没有提交停止使用化石燃料的时间表。

8 EU countries to phase out coal by 2030

Neftegaz.RU. 8 of the EU's 28 countries have pledged to phase out coal for electricity production by 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, EU climate and energy commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said. The European Commission received the pledges as contributions to the bloc's efforts to deliver on the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

Canete said that among the EU countries introducing or confirming such timelines, France intends to phase out coal by 2022 - before Italy and Ireland by 2025. Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and Finland aim to do so by 2030.

Standing by Canete, commission vice president Maros Sefcovic called the pledges "quite a significant signal coming from quite an important number of member states." The commission added that Germany, the EU's most powerful economy and biggest polluter, has also indicated it will set "an end date" for coal-based electricity.

An EU official told AFP the remaining 20 countries, including coal-dependent Poland, had not submitted timelines for weaning themselves off fossil fuel.
