Yükseliş ve Çöküş 2020: KÜRESEL KÖMÜRLÜ TERMİK SANTRAL TAKİBİ

The report finds that while the global coal fleet grew by 34.1 GW in 2019, this was primarily driven by China, as the rest of the world saw a net decrease in capacity. It highlights a continuing decline in new project starts and a significant increase in retirements in the US and EU, though it warns that current trends are insufficient to meet the IPCC's 1.5°C goal, which requires an 80% reduction in coal-fired power by 2030.

• The global coal-fired power plant fleet grew by 34.1 GW in 2019, marking the first increase in net installed capacity since 2015. This growth was heavily concentrated in China, where approximately two-thirds of the 68.3 GW of newly commissioned capacity was added.
• Excluding China, the global coal fleet shrank for the second consecutive year in 2019 because the capacity of retired plants exceeded that of newly commissioned plants (27.2 GW retired versus 24.5 GW commissioned).
• The United States and the European Union saw significant retirements in 2019. The US retired 16.5 GW (nearly half of the global total), and the EU retired 7.5 GW. In the US, the average annual retirement rate under the Trump administration (2017–2019) was 13.7 GW, a 67% increase over the Obama administration's average of 8.2 GW.
• Japan is the leading OECD country in new coal capacity development, with 11.9 GW in development. If completed, this would increase the lifetime CO2 emissions of Japan's current coal fleet by 50%, from 3.9 billion tons to 5.8 billion tons. Japan also provides public financing for 24.7 GW of coal capacity outside its borders.
• Turkey has surpassed India in the amount of coal-fired power capacity currently in the pre-construction phase, with 31.7 GW compared to India's 29.3 GW.
• Global coal-fired power generation decreased by 3% in 2019, leading to a record low average utilization rate of 51%. In China, 40% of the capacity commissioned in 2019 was immediately placed in emergency backup status, limiting its usage.
• The report concludes that the world is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement goals. According to the IPCC, coal-fired power generation must decrease by 80% by 2030 to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
