In 2021, China's coal-fired power construction reached its highest level since 2016, with 33 GW of new capacity starting construction. Despite carbon neutrality targets, investment in long-process steel remains high, with China accounting for 85% of global new long-process capacity. The report warns that these investments lock in coal dependency and risk creating stranded assets valued at hundreds of billions of dollars. While there is growth in electric arc furnace (EAF) steel and renewable energy targets, the scale of new fossil-fuel infrastructure continues to outpace the transition needed to meet Paris Agreement goals.

  • Following a power crisis in September 2021, approvals for coal-fired power plants resumed in early 2022; in the first six weeks of 2022, 5 projects totaling 7.3 GW were approved, more than double the total approved in all of 2021.
  • Despite ambitious renewable energy targets—including 600 GW of wind and solar from 11 state-owned power companies for 2021-2025—the growth may be insufficient to meet a projected 6% annual increase in electricity demand without continued coal reliance.
