China, India, and Indonesia may peak coal use by 2030 due to renewable growth, but need phase-down plans to meet climate goals.
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.
China has already seen power sector emissions decline since 2024 due to record solar and wind additions.
India is on track to meet its 500 GW non-fossil capacity goal ahead of schedule, with over 50% non-fossil electricity generated.
Indonesia aims for 100 GW of solar power, though new coal and gas projects remain in short-term plans.
While clean energy growth is accelerating, the report warns that without clear post-peak phase-down strategies, emissions could plateau, risking missed climate goals.
Success depends on grid upgrades, storage, and sustained policy support.
China, India e Indonesia podrían alcanzar su máximo uso de carbón en 2030 debido al crecimiento de las energías renovables, pero necesitan planes de reducción gradual para cumplir con los objetivos climáticos.
