Poland accelerates coal phase out, pushes for nuclear and offshore wind. Poland is the only member of the EU which has so far refused to commit to net zero emissions by 2050, with the country seeking more time to reconfigure its economy, which is heavily reliant on coal-fired power stations and coal mining.

At the same time, New York City faces a shortage of transmission capacity to meet its peak grid demands, and NYPA’s units may become more valuable for meeting those needs as older plants face retirement, Quiniones said. More recent decisions have replaced new California gas plants with clean energy portfolios.

In hopes of reinventing its image, new life is breathing into Fukushima, the Japanese northeastern prefecture that was devastated by a 2011 tsunami and consequent nuclear power plant meltdown. The end goal for 2040 is that the entire Land of the Rising Sun will be completely powered through renewable energy.

BNEF stresses that the window for action is fast closing, estimating that energy-related emissions must drop by almost a third below 1990 levels by the end of the decade, and fall by 75 per cent by 2040, if net zero by 2050 is to be achieved. Overall, global emissions need to fall 3.2 alive, the report states.
