tracking China’s coal transition Melanie Hart Center for American Progress

Key takeaways China’s new coal-fired power plants are more efficient than anything operating in the United States. China’s emission standards for conventional air pollutants from coal-fired power plants are stricter than the comparable U.S. standards. Demand for coal-fired power is falling so quickly in China that the nation cannot support its existing fleet. Many of the coal-fired power plants that skeptics point to as evidence against a Chinese energy transformation are actually white elephants that Chinese leaders are already targeting in a wave of forced plant closures. If current U.S. regulatory trends continue, by 2020, every coal plant operating in the United States would be illegal to operate in China.
