The 2018 Coal Plant Pipeline

Each year, Urgewald compiles a list of the world’s 120 top coal plant developers that is published on www.coalexit.org. This year, we decided to also share some of the fascinating insights we gained in the course of our research. The result is our version of a “Lonely Planet” Guide to coal plant development. This report takes you on a tour to 54 different countries where new coal plants are on the agenda. It examines the dynamics behind the coal plant pipeline in each country and provides a snapshot of the main players who are driving these projects forward. So buckle up and see what the coal industry’s plans are for places near and far.
