Отказът на Германия от въглищата до 2030 г. поставя в изолация останалите замърсители от ЕС

This report by Ember analyzes the progress of European Union member states in phasing out coal-fired electricity generation by 2030. It highlights that while the EU is rapidly reducing coal use—driven significantly by Germany's commitment to exit coal by 2030—three countries (Poland, Czechia, and Bulgaria) remain heavily reliant on coal and are lagging behind the rest of the bloc.

• The European Union is rapidly phasing out coal, with coal-generated electricity expected to drop by 83% between 2015 and 2030, falling from 705 TWh to 118 TWh based on current national government plans.
• Recent updates to national plans, most notably Germany's commitment to phase out coal by 2030, have halved the expected EU coal electricity production for 2030 (a 58% reduction) compared to estimates from November 2020. This acceleration is projected to prevent 89-152 megatonnes of CO2 emissions in 2030.
• Poland, Czechia, and Bulgaria are increasingly isolated in their coal reliance, together accounting for over 95% of planned EU coal electricity production by 2030. Specifically, Poland is projected to be responsible for 63%, Czechia 18%, and Bulgaria 14%. While the other 27 EU countries are expected to reduce coal energy by 99% between 2015 and 2030, these three countries' combined reduction is only 42%.
• Poland's coal phase-out is significantly delayed; after initially signing the Global Coalition to Phase Out Coal at COP26, it withdrew its agreement to exit by 2030, stating instead it will stop coal use by 2049. In 2020, 70% of Poland's electricity came from coal.
• Czechia and Bulgaria have set phase-out targets far beyond 2030. Czechia's coalition agreement aims for a phase-out before 2038, though a specific date is not set. Bulgaria's National Recovery and Resilience Plan announced a phase-out by 2038 or 2040, lagging behind neighbors Greece (2025), North Macedonia (2027), and Romania (2032).
