붐 앤 버스트 2019 국제 석탄발전소 추이 조사

This March 2019 report by Global Energy Monitor, Sierra Club, and Greenpeace analyzes global trends in coal-fired power plants, noting a three-year decline in key growth indicators. While new construction and permits have dropped significantly, particularly in China and India, the report highlights a resurgence of construction in China and the continued role of Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean financial institutions in funding overseas coal projects. It emphasizes that current operational capacities exceed IPCC limits for restricting global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.

• Global indicators for coal power capacity growth declined for three consecutive years in 2016, 2017, and 2018, including facilities completed, under construction, and in the pre-construction phase.
• In 2018, new coal construction decreased by 39% compared to the previous year and by 84% since 2015. New completions fell by 20% year-on-year (53% since 2015), and pre-construction capacity dropped by 24% year-on-year (69% since 2015).
• The United States led the world in retiring old coal plants in 2018, closing 17.6 GW of capacity. This occurred despite the Trump administration's policies to repeal coal regulations and designate old plants as essential facilities for reserve power.
• China has seen a resurgence in construction, with capacity under construction increasing by 12% in 2018 (to 236 GW) as the central government quietly resumed over 50 GW of projects previously delayed. Furthermore, the China Electricity Council proposed a 2030 coal capacity cap of 1,300 GW, which could allow for an additional 290 GW of capacity—more than the total current capacity of the United States (259 GW).
• India has experienced a significant slowdown in coal permits, with less than 3 GW permitted in 2018, compared to 39 GW in 2010. This decline is driven by competition from solar and wind energy, which are bidding at less than one-third of coal operating costs, and increased environmental regulations.
• Financial institutions from China, Japan, and South Korea have become the primary funding sources for overseas coal power projects. China alone is behind more than 50% of the world's coal capacity currently under development, including its own domestic projects.
• According to IPCC estimates, if currently operating coal plants are used according to average utilization rates and expected lifespans, carbon emissions will be too high to limit global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.
