2024 活況と不況－石炭 世界の石炭火力発電所の計画追跡
Summary
This document is a Japanese translation of an excerpt from the 'Boom & Bust Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor and its partners. It tracks global coal-fired power plant plans as of April 2024, highlighting a contradiction where global coal capacity reached record highs in 2023 despite a general trend of shrinking development pipelines in most countries except China.
Key insights
- Global coal-fired power capacity increased by 48.4 GW (2%) in 2023, reaching a total of 2,130 GW, with China accounting for two-thirds of this growth.
- While new coal construction starts reached their lowest level since 2015 outside of China, China saw a contrary trend with new starts increasing for four consecutive years, reaching an eight-year high.
- Japan ranks 4th globally in coal capacity, reaching 55.1 GW in 2023 after the completion of the Kobe, Saijo, and Yokosuka plants. Despite a 97.6% decrease in new plans since 2015, one 'zombie' project remains: the 0.5 GW GENESIS Matsushima plant planned by J-POWER for a 2026 start, which utilizes biomass, ammonia, and hydrogen co-firing and CCS technology.
- Japan lacks a planned coal phase-out target, with only 1.9 GW (3.4%) of its operating capacity having scheduled closure dates. The document notes Japan's opposition during the April 2023 G7 meeting to adopting 2030 as a formal phase-out date for unabated coal power.
