According to data released by coal tracking agency Carbon Brief, as of 2019, there were about 2,425 coal-fired power plants in the world, with a total installed capacity of nearly 2,000 GW, and their carbon dioxide emissions were about 15 billion tons
.
The data shows that from 1927 to 2019, coal-fired power plants experienced rapid development, but in 2019, coal power saw a record decline of 3
%.
If this trend continues, it could mark a turning point
in global coal consumption.
Coal power generation in the United States has been declining since the late 2000s, while in Europe, coal exports are even faster
.
In fact, it is estimated that coal power generation in Europe could fall by 23%
in 2019 alone.
As global efforts to combat climate change are ramping up, coal as a major source of carbon emissions and air pollution is being phased out in favor of cleaner energy sources
.
In 1927, the world's first coal-fired power station was put into operation
In 1953, there were more than 100 coal-fired power stations worldwide
By 1984, there were more than 1,000 coal-fired power stations worldwide
In 2008, there were more than 2,000 coal-fired power stations worldwide
