Auge y caída del carbón 2023

The report indicates that while the global coal sector is generally declining, China is significantly increasing its coal capacity, contrasting with a sharp drop in new projects elsewhere. Most of the world's operational coal capacity is now within the scope of national neutrality targets, though the current pace of retirement remains insufficient to meet Paris Agreement objectives. In Latin America and the Caribbean, coal development has slowed significantly, with notable retirements in Chile and Peru, though Argentina and Brazil maintain some capacity in development.

• A significant portion of global coal capacity is now subject to phase-out or neutrality targets, with nearly one-third (580 GW) having a specific phase-out date and only 5% of the global portfolio remaining outside any national commitment.
• China is driving a global increase in coal capacity; its developing capacity grew by 38% (from 266 GW to 366 GW) in 2022, and it now accounts for 68% of the world's coal generation capacity under development.
• Outside of China, the development of new coal plants has plummeted, with proposed new capacity decreasing by 84% since 2015, including a 90% reduction in OECD and EU countries.
• Current retirement rates are insufficient to meet the Paris Agreement goals; achieving a 2040 phase-out of operational plants would require retiring an average of 117 GW per year, which is 4.5 times the capacity retired in 2022.
• In Latin America and the Caribbean, coal development has decreased by 82% since 2015, with only Brazil and Argentina having capacity in pre-construction or construction as of late 2022.
• The G7 holds 15% (323 GW) of the world's operational coal capacity and has committed to phasing out unabated coal and primarily retiring coal from the electricity sector by 2035.
