รุ่งเรืองแล้วร่วงโรย

This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners analyzes global coal power plant trends in 2020, highlighting a stark divergence between China's rapid expansion and a general global decline. While many countries in the US, EU, and Southeast Asia are decommissioning plants or canceling new projects due to financial pressures and climate goals, China's surge in new capacity offset global reductions, leading to a net increase in global coal capacity for the first time since 2015.

• China's coal expansion was driven by provincial governments using coal projects as economic stimulants to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by relaxed central government approval regulations and increased loans for large-scale projects. Despite a national goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) allows coal energy use to grow until 2025.
• The United States saw record coal plant retirements during Donald Trump's presidency (2017-2020), with 52.4 GW decommissioned, surpassing the 48.9 GW retired during Barack Obama's second term. However, the report notes that achieving Joe Biden's goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 will require faster retirements, as current plans only account for decommissioning one-third of existing capacity (76.6 GW out of 233.6 GW) by 2050.
