การติดตามแผนการสร้างโรงไฟฟ้าถ่านหินทั่วโลก ปี 2563

The report identifies a four-year decline in coal power growth indicators, though global net capacity increased by 34.1 GW in 2019 primarily due to China. While the US and EU continue to retire coal plants, Japan remains a major OECD driver of coal development. Financial support from Western commercial banks has largely ceased, though Chinese state institutions continue to fund projects internationally. The report emphasizes that coal use must drop by 80% by 2030 to meet the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement.

• Global net coal capacity increased by 34.1 GW in 2019, marking the first increase since 2015. This growth was driven by China, where new plants accounted for approximately two-thirds of the 68.3 GW of new capacity added globally.
• The global pipeline for new coal plants has contracted for four consecutive years. Total capacity in the planning and construction phases dropped from 1,468 GW in 2015 to 499.2 GW in 2019.
• Coal power generation decreased by 3% globally in 2019, with significant drops in the EU (24%) and the US (16%). This led to a record low average global capacity factor of 51%.
• In the US, coal plant retirements accelerated under President Donald Trump, averaging 13.7 GW per year between 2017 and 2019, a 67% increase compared to the average of 8.2 GW during President Barack Obama's term (2009-2016).
• Japan is the largest coal driver within the OECD, developing 11.9 GW of domestic capacity and supporting 24.7 GW of projects outside its borders through public finance.
• Commercial banks in Australia, Europe, and the US provided no direct financial support for new coal plant construction in 2019, reflecting stricter institutional regulations.
• China's coal capacity continues to exceed demand, with 40% of the electricity produced in 2019 classified as emergency reserve power and restricted in use.
• To limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, the IPCC states that coal energy use must be reduced by 80% by 2030.
