China has significantly increased its coal power capacity, reviving concerns about its climate-changing carbon emissions. A joint report by two research groups shows that more than 50 large coal units, or boilers combined with turbines, were commissioned in 2025, a sharp rise from previous years.

However, experts warn this could delay the country’s transition to cleaner energy. The report urges China to retire inefficient coal plants and limit emissions in its next five-year plan.
