Get Coal Off the Grid Faster

We don’t need to start from scratch to go clean. We just need to be smarter about what we already have. Repowering offers a faster way: reuse what’s working, replace what’s polluting. Keep the grids, the power stations, the people, but swap coal for clean heat.

Coal to Clean Energy Policy, Impact Report 2021 – (EMBER)

A rapid phase-out of coal power is essential to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees. However, the coal-to-clean transition is moving too slowly. Coal-fired power plants are still responsible for 30% of all global CO2 emissions. Coal generation must fall by 11% every year this decade.
