China has 243 GW of new coal power approved or under construction - research

SINGAPORE, Aug 29 (Reuters) - China currently has 243 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired power either approved or under construction, enough to power the whole of Germany, with local governments still worried about power supply security, new research showed on Tuesday.
China began building coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 37 GW in the first half of this year, and approved 52 GW of new projects, said a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and Global Energy Monitor (GEM).
 
As well as the 243 GW now officially in the pipeline, another 149 GW has been announced but not formally permitted. Total coal power capacity could increase by between 23% and 33% above 2022 levels if all the projects go ahead.
China has promised to cut coal consumption starting from 2026 as part of its efforts to bring greenhouse gas emissions to a peak before 2030, but mounting energy security concerns are driving the new approvals.

The PRC bent on offsetting all the CO2 emissions reduction effort done in the Western World.

Greta could not be found to comment...

CO2 emissions are only bad in the West. The shareholders can always offshore what's left of our industry to Asia and the politicians can boast about how they 'saved the planet'.

A funny thing is that we could produce stuff that China produces for us with less emissions and less environmental damage here. At the same time we wouldn't be enriching them, thus giving them a shot at undermining Western World Order™. A threat of China that didn't become the factory of the world would probably be laughable.

There will be a quiz on the written material tomorrow at 5pm…🙂
