This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners analyzes the global state of coal power in 2022, highlighting a stark divergence between China's expanding coal capacity and a general decline in the rest of the world. While many nations are moving toward retirement to meet Paris Agreement goals, China's domestic coal pipeline has grown significantly, now accounting for the majority of global under-construction capacity.

  • Global coal capacity is seeing a split trend: while 580 GW of global coal energy has a set phase-out date and 1,400 GW is within carbon elimination goals, the pace of phase-out is not aligned with Paris Agreement targets.
  • China is the primary driver of new coal capacity. In 2022, China's under-construction coal capacity increased by 38% (from 266 GW to 366 GW), while the rest of the world saw a 20% decrease (from 214 GW to 172 GW). Consequently, China holds 68% of the world's under-construction coal capacity.
  • Outside of China and Central Asia, new coal projects decreased in 2022. Since 2015, there has been an 84% reduction in new coal projects globally excluding China, with reductions of 90% in the European Union and 83% in non-OECD countries.
  • The United States led in coal retirements in 2022 with 13.5 GW retired. In the European Union, a record 14.6 GW of coal capacity was reduced in 2021, though the Russia-Ukraine war slowed retirements in 2022 to 2.2 GW.
  • Pakistan's coal power capacity grew from 150 MW in 2016 to 7.6 GW in 2023, with another 0.7 GW under construction. The government has shifted toward local coal due to the 2022 economic crisis and high imported fuel costs, with Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir stating an intent to increase local coal capacity from 2.3 GW to 10 GW.
  • In Pakistan, the proposed 300 MW Gwadar plant, now funded by Chinese investment, is described as a direct violation of China's 2021 pledge to end overseas coal projects and Pakistan's own moratorium on new imported coal projects.
  • Coal mining in the Thar region of Pakistan has caused severe economic harm to local populations reliant on agriculture and livestock, leading to water contamination and land degradation.
