COAL POWER in a Warming World: A SENSIBLE
Requiring new coal plants to capture their global warming pollution will not drive reductions from the existing coal fleet. The federal government should therefore adopt a cap-and-trade policy that puts a cap on total emissions, creates an ongoing financial incentive to reduce emissions by establishing a price on each ton of CO 2 emitted, and ...

End Coal Climate Change
Coal is the single biggest contributor to anthropogenic climate change. The burning of coal is responsible for 46% of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide and accounts for 72% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector.If plans to build up to 1200 new coal fired power stations around the world are realized, the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from these plants would put ...

Top 25 Coal Power Countries in 2020 - Ember
Apr 14, 2021 Ember’s recent Global Electricity Review revealed that coal generation fell a record 4% (-346 TWh) in 2020. However, coal remains the world’s single largest power source, generating 34% of global electricity in 2020 (8736 TWh). As the most carbon-intensive source of electricity, coal power needs to fall by 14% every year this decade to put the world on course for net zero by 2050.

Clean Coal Technologies - World Nuclear Association
The greatest challenge is bringing the cost of this down sufficiently for 'clean coal' to compete with nuclear power on the basis of near-zero emissions for base-load power. There is typically at least a 20% energy penalty involved in 'clean coal' processes. World RD on CCS exceeded $1 billion per year over 2009 to 2013, then fell sharply.

Nov 29, 2019 The gap is largest when it comes to coal: countries are currently planning to produce 150% more coal in 2030, than would be consistent with limiting warming to 2°C, and almost three times more than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. Governments’ continued support for coal, oil and gas extraction is a big part of the problem.
