Německý odchod od uhlí do roku 2030 dostává zbývající znečišůovatele v EU do izolace
Summary
The report finds that while the EU is rapidly reducing coal use, with planned generation falling by 83% between 2015 and 2030, three countries—Poland, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria—will account for over 95% of the EU's remaining coal electricity by 2030. Germany's decision to exit coal by 2030 has accelerated this trend, leaving these three 'laggards' with significantly slower phase-out rates compared to the rest of the EU.
Key insights
- The European Union is rapidly reducing its reliance on coal, with planned electricity generation from coal expected to drop by 83% from 705 TWh in 2015 to 118 TWh in 2030.
- Three EU countries will be responsible for more than 95% of the EU's planned coal electricity production in 2030: Poland (63%), the Czech Republic (18%), and Bulgaria (14%).
- There is a stark disparity in phase-out speeds; while the combined coal electricity production in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria is planned to decrease by only 42% between 2015 and 2030, the rest of the EU-27 will see a 99% reduction.
- Germany's announcement to phase out coal by 2030 has significantly lowered the EU's total planned coal generation for 2030, contributing to a 58% reduction in planned production compared to the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP) submitted by member states less than two years prior.
- Specific national targets for the remaining coal users vary: Poland intends to exit coal by 2049, while the Czech Republic and Bulgaria have targets around 2038 or 2040.
