活況と不況－石炭 世界の石炭火力発電所の計画追跡

This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners tracks the global status of coal-fired power plants as of April 2023. It highlights a divergence between China, where coal capacity is rapidly increasing, and the rest of the world, where new developments are generally declining. While many existing plants now have closure dates or carbon-neutral targets, the report argues that the pace of phase-out is insufficient to meet Paris Agreement goals.

• Global coal capacity is seeing a significant divergence led by China. In 2022, China's capacity under development increased by 38% (from 266 GW to 366 GW), while capacity in the rest of the world decreased by 20% (from 214 GW to 172 GW). Currently, China accounts for 68% of the world's total coal capacity under development.
• Japan maintains the world's fourth-largest operating coal capacity. While new projects announced since 2018 are limited to one plant, 3 GW of new capacity was connected to the grid in 2022, including the Take Toyo plant. Only 9 plants (less than 5% of operating capacity) have known planned closure dates. The report notes that the government's 'Green Transformation (GX)' policy promotes ammonia/hydrogen co-firing and CCS, but lacks a clear outlook for 'green' ammonia supplies to meet a 20% co-firing target.
• In 2022, the United States led coal plant closures by shutting down 13.5 GW. In the European Union, the pace of closures slowed to 2.2 GW in 2022, compared to a record 14.6 GW in 2021, due to the gas crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
