活況と不況 2020: 世界の石炭火力発電所の計画の追跡
Summary
The report finds that while global coal capacity increased by 34.1 GW in 2019—driven primarily by China—overall planning and construction are declining globally. It highlights a significant shift in the OECD, where the US and EU are accelerating closures, while Japan remains a major supporter of new coal projects both domestically and abroad. The document also notes a critical gap between current trends and the IPCC's requirement to reduce coal power by 80% by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5°C.
Key insights
- Global coal-fired power capacity saw a net increase of 34.1 GW in 2019, the first such increase since 2015. This was driven by 68.3 GW of new capacity coming online, with China accounting for nearly two-thirds (43.8 GW) of that total. Excluding China, global coal capacity has decreased for two consecutive years.
- Global coal generation decreased by 3% in 2019 compared to 2018, with the average global capacity factor falling to a record low of 51%. This decline was most pronounced in the EU (-24%) and the US (-16%).
