YÜKSELIŞ VE ÇÖKÜŞ 2021

The report 'YÜKSELIŞ VE ÇÖKÜŞ 2021' analyzes the global state of coal-fired power plants in 2020, highlighting a stark divergence between China's continued expansion and a general global decline. While the rest of the world saw record retirements and project cancellations—particularly in the US, EU, and Southeast Asia—China's surge in new capacity led to a net global increase in coal power. The document details the financial challenges facing coal, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on project timelines, and the gap between current national trajectories and the IPCC 1.5°C pathway.

• In 2020, China's significant increase in new coal-fired power plant capacity caused the global coal fleet to grow for the first time since 2015. China commissioned 38.4 GW of new capacity, representing 76% of the global total of 50.3 GW. This resulted in a net global growth of 12.5 GW, despite 37.8 GW being retired worldwide.
• The United States experienced a record level of coal plant retirements during the Trump administration (2017–2020), with 52.4 GW retired, surpassing the 48.9 GW retired during Obama's second term. Despite President Biden's commitment to decarbonize the energy sector by 2035, current plans only envision the retirement of one-third (76.6 GW) of the existing 233.6 GW coal fleet by that date.
