It is still a dominant source of energy across the world today – particularly for the production of electricity. But coal is the [world’s dirtiest fuel](https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy) – it not only emits the most carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy, it has severe impacts on health through [air pollution](https://ourworldindata.org/air-pollution). Many countries are therefore committing to phasing coal power out of their electricity mix. These pledges are not legally-binding; they are public statements of commitment. But they nonetheless give the public – and other countries – clear targets that they can hold governments accountable to. This map shows which countries made zero-coal pledges, and the year by which they aim to achieve this. Some countries are already coal-free. Some have set to phase it out by 2030; 2040 or later. Some have not yet committed to eliminating it.1 <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-phase-out-timeline"/> --- # Related ### Which countries get the most energy from coal? https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/energy?facet=none&country=USA~GBR~CHN~OWID_WRL~IND~BRA~ZAF&Total+or+Breakdown=Select+a+source&Select+a+source=Coal&Energy+or+Electricity=Primary+energy&Metric=Share+of+total ### Explore all of our data and writing about energy https://ourworldindata.org/energy This dataset is collated by Our World in Data based on several data sources, including: Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA): https://www.poweringpastcoal.org/ Beyond Coal EU: https://beyond-coal.eu/coal-exit-tracker/ Bloomberg Global Coal Countdown: https://bloombergcoalcountdown.com/ EMBER Climate: https://ember-climate.org/ National announcements during the COP26 Climate Summit. | When will countries phase out coal power? |
