繁荣与衰落

The 2024 'Boom and Bust' report finds that while many countries are reducing coal capacity, global operational capacity grew by 2% in 2023 to 2,130 GW, driven largely by China. China's new coal construction reached an eight-year high, contradicting its 2021 pledge to strictly control new projects. Globally, only 15% of operational coal capacity is committed to retirement aligned with the 1.5°C goal. While construction outside China hit a nine-year low, new planning in India, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia remains a challenge, and captive coal plants are emerging as a persistent loophole.

• Global operational coal capacity increased by 2% in 2023, reaching 2,130 GW, with two-thirds of this growth coming from China. This follows a trend where global operational capacity has grown by 11% since the 2015 Paris Agreement.
• China's coal power expansion is accelerating despite official pledges. New coal project construction in China reached its highest level in eight years, and the total capacity of approved projects in 2022 and 2023 was four times the total approved between 2016 and 2020.
• While new construction outside China hit a nine-year low, new planning persists. In 2023, new planned capacity totaled 20.9 GW, primarily in India (11.4 GW), Kazakhstan (4.6 GW), and Indonesia (2.5 GW). Captive coal plants, which serve specific industrial activities like chrome smelting in Zimbabwe or nickel smelting in Indonesia, are identified as a remaining stronghold for coal planning.
