世界の石炭火力発電所の計画追跡（2026 年5月）

The report highlights a growing gap in 2025 where global coal capacity increased by 3.5% despite a 0.6% decrease in generation, signaling a shift where coal serves as a backup rather than a primary power source. While China and India continue to expand capacity for energy security, the total number of countries proposing or building new coal plants fell to 32 in 2025. The document specifically contrasts the policies of South Korea, which has committed to a 2040 coal phase-out and joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, with Japan, which maintains a large coal fleet and focuses on abatement technologies like ammonia co-firing and CCS without a binding national phase-out date.

• China recorded a record high of 161.7 GW in new and restarted coal projects in 2025, with total capacity under development exceeding 500 GW, despite government pledges to reduce coal consumption during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030).
• India's coal pipeline expanded for the fifth consecutive year, with 107.3 GW in the planning stage and 23.5 GW under construction in 2025, although non-fossil fuel capacity exceeded half of its total capacity that year.
• South Korea has shifted its policy toward a 2040 coal phase-out and joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, moving away from costly abatement technologies like ammonia co-firing.
