NOVEMBER 26, 2019

While the number of new clean power-generating plants completed stayed flat year-to-year, the volume of power derived from coal surged to a new high, according to Climatescope , an annual survey of 104 emerging markets conducted by research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF). Inflows to clean energy projects in India and Brazil slipped $2.4

These changes mainly result from fuel tax reforms in China, India and Mexico, the report said. In the non-road sectors, which collectively account for 95% of carbon emissions from energy use, 81% of emissions are untaxed, and rates are below a truly low-end estimate of climate costs of EUR 30 per tCO 2 for 97% of emissions.
