???? 據油價網6月7日消息稱，歐盟27個成員國周一批準了設立“公正轉型基金”的規定，以幫助歐盟依賴化石燃料的經濟體轉向更綠色的能源，從而掃清了該基金成立的最后障礙。

????價值213億美元(175億歐元)的公平轉型基金(JTF)是歐盟將用來幫助其成員國到2050年實現全歐盟氣候凈零排放目標的機制之一。

????根據綠色協議，歐盟承諾支持對可持續企業、技術和解決方案以及綠色能源和發電的投資。綠色協議還包括公正轉型基金，以向嚴重依賴煤炭的地區和/或國家提供資金支持。

????歐盟成員國同意，該基金將為一些項目提供資金，以幫助歐盟各地嚴重依賴化石燃料企業或溫室氣體密集型產業減輕經濟和社會負擔，并使當地經濟多樣化。

????來自該基金的資金不能用于任何化石燃料的開發，甚至不能用于天然氣。歐盟已開始將天然氣視為能源轉型問題的一部分，而不是解決方案。

????歐盟周一表示，JTF“旨在通過對需要逐步淘汰煤炭、褐煤、泥炭和頁巖的生產和使用或改造重污染行業的地區進行投資，來防止差距擴大”。

????波蘭和德國預計將成為該基金的最大受益者，因為這兩個國家的煤炭行業仍然很廣泛，而且它們的就業和經濟增長都依賴煤炭。

????EU Approves $21B Green Transition Fund

????The 27 members of the European Union approved on Monday the regulation establishing the so-called Just Transition Fund to help fossil fuel-reliant economies in the bloc move to greener energy, clearing the final hurdle for the fund to launch.

????The Just Transition Fund (JTF), worth US$21.3 billion (17.5 billion euro), is one of the mechanisms the European Union will use to help its member states to work toward the EU-wide climate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

????Under its Green Deal, the EU pledged has pledged to support investments in sustainable businesses, technologies, and solutions and in greener energy and electricity generation. The Green Deal also includes the so-called Just Transition Fund to support with money packages regions and/or countries heavily reliant on coal.

????The EU member states agreed that the fund would finance projects to alleviate the social and economic costs for communities across the EU that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels or greenhouse gas-intensive industries and need to diversify the local economy.

????Money from the fund cannot be used for any fossil fuel development, not even natural gas, which the EU has started to see as a part of the problem, not the solution, in the energy transition.

????The JTF “aims to prevent widening disparities by investing in territories which need to phase out the production and use of coal, lignite, peat and oil shale or transform heavily polluting industries,” the EU said on Monday.

????Poland and Germany are expected to be the biggest beneficiaries of the fund, considering their still extensive coal industries and regions relying on coal for employment and economic growth.
