Still coal in 2060?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Indeed that's strange, and the flat slope in 2060 seems inconsistent with declared net-zero policies of China and even India. Russia has no such policy, but still strange to assume continuation of current government concepts there until 2060. (you can see the regional breakdown in supplem Fig 1. )

I'm guessing it has more to do with underdeveloped countries still relying on the simplicity of coal power.
