"Indian Companies Set to Make Major Investments in Coal-Fired Power Generation"

Private Indian firms, including Adani Power, JSW Group, and Essar Power, are expressing interest in investing in at least 10 gigawatts of coal-fired power capacity over the next decade, ending a six-year drought in significant private involvement in the sector. This renewed interest, driven by financial viability and assurance of timely payments, could cost billions of dollars and threatens to undermine India's progress in reducing carbon emissions. The government aims to attract private investment to boost coal-fired capacity by 80 GW by 2032, but challenges remain in raising funds and addressing financial stress in existing projects.

G20's Coal-Related Emissions Surge, Australia and China Lead

Per capita CO2 emissions from coal-fired power in G20 nations have increased by nearly 7% since 2015, with China and India adding new plants and Australia's CO2 count per head nearly three times higher than the global average, according to research by environment group Ember. As many as seven G20 members, including China, Brazil, India, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, and the United States, have not yet developed plans to phase down coal use. G20 countries account for 80% of global power sector emissions, with per capita CO2 from coal power at 1.6 tons last year, higher than the global average of 1.1 tons. China's per capita emissions reached 3.1 tons in 2022, up 30% from 2015, while India saw a 29% rise to 0.8 tons. South Korea and Australia were identified as the worst polluters when accounting for population.
