Consequences of new coal-fired plants in global GHG emissions

TRANSrisk partner BC3, Basque Centre for Climate Change, has developed an interesting paper which analyses the projected CO² emissions of coal-fired plants which are currently at different stages of construction and planning. The study highlights that even in the scenarion that 75% of all coal-fired plants use CCS technologies, the Paris Agreement threshold of 1.5 oC will be exceeded.
