Bùng nổ và thoái trào
Summary
The report 'Bùng nổ và thoái trào 2019' by Global Energy Monitor, Sierra Club, and Greenpeace analyzes global coal power plant trends in 2018. It highlights a general decline in new coal capacity, particularly in India and China, while noting a resurgence of construction in China due to the reactivation of previously frozen projects. The report also details the record-high closure of coal plants in the US and the growth of renewable energy in India and Vietnam.
Key insights
- Global indicators for coal power capacity growth declined for the third consecutive year in 2018, with new construction capacity falling 39% compared to 2017 and 84% compared to 2015.
- China is an exception to the global downward trend, as it resumed construction on over 50 GW of coal plants that were previously frozen. The China Electricity Council proposed increasing the national coal capacity limit to 1,300 GW by 2030, which would allow for an additional 290 GW of capacity.
- The United States led the world in coal plant closures in 2018, with 17.6 GW of capacity shut down, despite efforts by the Trump administration to maintain older plants.
- India has seen a significant drop in new coal permits, with only 3 GW licensed in 2018 compared to an average of 31 GW between 2008 and 2012. This is attributed to the rise of cheaper solar and wind power, which have outpaced coal additions for two consecutive years.
- Vietnam has experienced the fastest growth in coal capacity among countries with over 4 GW, increasing by 75% (13 GW) over the last five years. As of the report, Vietnam has over 17 GW of operating coal power and nearly 33 GW in the pre-construction phase.
- To limit global warming to 1.5°C, the IPCC estimates that coal power production must be reduced by 70% by 2030 and completely eliminated by 2050. For a 2°C limit, a 55% reduction is required by 2030.
