Global carbon dioxide emissions from coal combustion in the electricity and heat sector increased by more than ** percent between 2010 and 2022 to reach **** billion metric tons (GtCOâ‚‚). Under the IEA's Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050 scenario, coal-fired emissions would fall to just over ** MtCOâ‚‚ by 2040. This pathway would require the phase-out of unabated coal by 2040.
