Worldwide there are about 2,500 coal-fired power stations, [1] on average capable of generating a gigawatt each. [2] [a] They generate about a third of the world's electricity, [3] but cause many illnesses and the most early deaths per unit of energy produced, [4] mainly from air pollution. [5] [6] World installed capacity doubled from 2000 to ...
Global Energy Monitor was founded in 2007 by writer and environmentalist Ted Nace.Originally named "Coalswarm", and affiliated with Earth Island Institute, the organization created a tracker database of global coal-fired power stations that became "widely respected" by academic researchers, media outlets, and governments.

The following page lists 83 of the coal-fired power stations (including lignite-fired) that are 3,000 MW or larger net capacity, which are operational or under construction. If a station also has units which do not burn coal, only coal-fired capacity is listed.
This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal , fuel oils , nuclear fuel , natural gas , oil shale and peat , while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass , geothermal ...
Power plant emissions of mercury in the United States are thought to be about 50 tons per year in 2003, and several hundred tons per year in China. Power plant designers can fit equipment to power stations to reduce emissions. Coal mining practices in the United States have also included strip mining and removing mountain tops. Mill tailings ...
China's installed coal-based power generation capacity was 1080 GW in 2021, [1] about half the total installed capacity of power stations in China. [2] Coal-fired power stations generated 57% of electricity in 2020. [3] Over half the world's coal-fired power is generated in China. [4] 5 GW of new coal power was approved in the first half of ...
In 2015 the Stranded Assets Programme at the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment published Stranded Assets and Subcritical Coal report analyzing inter alia carbon intensity of subcritical coal-fired power stations of 100 largest companies having these power stations.
About 20 GW of power stations in Vietnam are coal-fired. [1] In 2019 coal-fired power stations were generated almost 40% of Vietnams electricity and was about a quarter of the coal was imported. [2] Source: Initial query from Coal Tracker, [3] updated with data from MOIT 2019 Report 58/BC-CBT, [4] updated using press released, updated from PDP ...
