A predicted ‘coal comeback’ due to the Iran war energy crisis has not materialised, according to a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
Analysing countries that disclose near-real-time electricity data, CREA found that coal-fired generation was flat in March globally, falling by 3.5 per cent outside of China, where it rose by a modest two per cent as some plants switched from gas to coal.
