活況と不況 2019 世界の石炭火力発電所の計画の追跡
Summary
The report finds that most indicators of coal power expansion declined for three consecutive years as of 2018, driven by financial restrictions and phase-out policies. While China and India saw record lows in new permit applications, China remains a significant exception due to the secret resumption of previously shelved projects and a proposal by the China Electricity Council to raise the 2030 capacity cap to 1,300 GW. Globally, coal plant closures reached near-record levels, led by the United States. The report emphasizes that current operational coal plants already exceed the emissions limits required to meet IPCC targets of limiting warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.
Key insights
- Most indicators of coal-fired power expansion declined for three consecutive years by 2018, including a 39% drop in construction starts from 2017 and an 84% drop from 2015.
