Varanasi's air quality ratings have been squeaky clean the past few years, but is that all there is to it? A closer look at the data shows gaps in collection, poor monitoring, and no change in ground reality 🧵

Reports say Varanasi has the best air quality among cities. Also, mind the gaps in data collection

🌐NEW insights | @IEA finds clean energy greatly contributed to GDP last year, similar to CREA analysis on clean energy as driver of China’s economic growth

✳️Clean energy contributed most in Europe & China; USA & India also saw significant contributions
With global dynamics in flux, the path of installed coal capacity continues to rapidly transform, highlighting pivotal shifts ahead.
Check out the full report for in-depth analysis & implications for the future of coal and the global energy transition: globalenergymonitor.org/report/boom-an…
Despite global declines, China's coal construction surged in 2023, w/70.2 GW of new starts — China's highest annual capacity since 2015 & 19x more than the rest of the world.
This disparity underscores China's unique position in the coal sector and its impact on global dynamics.
The future of the global coal fleet hinges on new construction starts, a key growth indicator.
Outside China, starts declined for the 2nd consecutive year, hitting a record low since 2015. This underscores a shifting landscape in the coal sector.
Low retirement rates in 2023, particularly in the U.S. 🇺🇸 and Europe 🇪🇺, contributed to the rise in coal capacity.
But this trend could reverse as retirement rates are expected to pick up speed. And growth may slow if China 🇨🇳 meets its 2025 target of shutting down 30 GW.
🔎Data in the Global #CoalPlant Tracker for 2023:
- 69.5 GW of capacity came online
- 21.1 GW was retired
➡️ resulting in a net annual increase of 48.4 GW, the highest since 2016, bringing the global total capacity to 2,130 GW.
🇨🇳 China led the surge w/47.4 GW of new capacity.
🌏 Not to mention a small uptick globally for the 1st time since 2019.
However, the accelerated growth in coal capacity may be short-lived, as low retirement rates in 2023 that contributed to coal’s rise are expected to pick up speed.
🌍🏭 Our annual survey of the global #coal plant fleet reveals critical insights:
🔺 Global coal capacity went up 2% in '23
🇨🇳 China drove 2/3 of new additions
🔽 Outside 🇨🇳+🇮🇳 total proposed capacity at lowest since data collection began
