flag China, India, and Indonesia may peak coal use by 2030 due to renewable growth, but need phase-down plans to meet climate goals.

flag A new report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air finds that China, India, and Indonesia—responsible for 73% of global coal use—could peak coal power and emissions by 2030, driven by rapid renewable expansion, falling clean energy costs, and national targets. flag China has already seen power sector emissions decline since 2024 due to record solar and wind additions. flag India is on track to meet its 500 GW non-fossil capacity goal ahead of schedule, with over 50% non-fossil electricity generated. flag Indonesia aims for 100 GW of solar power, though new coal and gas projects remain in short-term plans. flag While clean energy growth is accelerating, the report warns that without clear post-peak phase-down strategies, emissions could plateau, risking missed climate goals. flag Success depends on grid upgrades, storage, and sustained policy support.
