Ten months after the COP28 decision to transition away from fossil fuels, important countries continue to prioritize coal – and global consumption is on the rise. India recently announced plans to invest 7.2 billion euros in new coal-fired power plants over the next few years. At least 4.7 gigawatts of new capacity will be built near mines, in addition to expansion plans for 88 gigawatts of conventional power plants – mainly coal – by 2032.
