붐앤버스트 2020: 국제 석탄발전소 추이 조사
Summary
The report finds that while global coal capacity saw a net increase of 34.1 GW in 2019 due to Chinese additions, overall indicators for new projects have declined for four consecutive years. It highlights a significant shift in the OECD, where closures in the US and EU are outpacing new builds, and notes that Japan has become the most active OECD nation in new coal development. The document also details the increasing role of public finance from China, Japan, and South Korea in funding overseas coal projects as commercial banks withdraw support. In China, capacity continues to grow despite low average utilization rates of around 50% and government efforts to limit new permits.
Key insights
- In the OECD, coal capacity has generally declined since 2011. The US saw significant closures in 2019 (16.5 GW), with the average annual closure rate under President Trump (13.7 GW) being 67% higher than under President Obama (8.2 GW).
- Japan is currently the most active OECD country in new coal development, pursuing 11.9 GW of domestic capacity and investing public funds in 24.7 GW of overseas coal power.
- China's coal capacity continues to expand despite oversupply; in 2019, 40% of the capacity that entered trial operation was restricted to emergency reserve use.
- Commercial banks in the US, EU, and Australia provided no direct financing for new coal plant construction in 2019, leading to an increased reliance on public finance from China, Japan, and South Korea.
- South Korea has provided over $10 billion through three public financial institutions from 2008 to 2018 for overseas coal projects, including planned investments in Indonesia (2 GW) and Vietnam (1.2 GW).
