Coal news and updates

The Czech government has sent back a recommendation to phase out coal by 2038 to a state commission to examine an earlier exit, the Industry Ministry said on Monday, after a split over the target in the ruling coalition.

 

The central European country uses coal for just under half its electricity production but is seeking to cut that sharply in coming decades as part of a decarbonisation drive.

 

Last week, the country's largest utility, majority state-owned CEZ, announced a plan to shut most of its coal-fired power plants by 2030, cutting the proportion of coal in its production mix to 12.5% from 36% in 2020.
