[8] According to estimates, in 2018, it emitted 37.6 million tons of carbon dioxide, more than any other power station, with relative emissions estimated at 1.756 kg per kWh. The plant releases more carbon dioxide each year than the entirety of Switzerland. [9] [10]
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.
The Gacko Coal Mine is a coal mine located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mine has coal reserves amounting to 372.2 million tonnes of lignite, one of the largest coal reserves in Europe and the world. The mine has an annual production capacity of 0.8 million tonnes of coal. [3]

If global warming is limited to well below 2 °C as specified in the Paris Agreement, coal plant stranded assets of over US$500 billion are forecast by 2050, mostly in China. [77] In 2020 think tank Carbon Tracker estimated that 39% of coal-fired plants were already more expensive than new renewables and storage and that 73% would be by 2025. [78]
The following is a list of European countries by coal production in 2014, based mostly on the Statistical Review of World Energy published in 2015 by British Petroleum, [1] ranking nations with coal production larger than 0.05 percent of world production.
