Transition credits will enable emerging markets to retire coal-fired power plants

All told, there are over 6,500 coal-fired units in operation across the world, which collectively will emit an estimated 190bn tonnes of CO₂ over their remaining operational lifetimes. Over 90% of these plants are shielded from competition due to regulation or long-term contracts that guarantee their returns, meaning many coal plant owners and operators have no financial motivation to retire early. If the world has any hope of limiting warming to 2°C, it must come together behind efforts to accelerate the retirement of coal plants in emerging markets, argues Joseph Curtin, Managing Director Power, The Rockefeller Foundation.
