High-res satellite data shows methane plumes repeatedly coming from mine systems — ventilation shafts, degasification equipment & other infrastructure.

GMET’s update links these detections with mine-level mitigation data to show where action is missing.

🚨 #SoutheastAsia plans to invest US$220 billion in gas-fired power & #LNG import capacity, defying the urgent need for a clean energy transition.

Yet the region could meet growing energy needs through renewable sources.

A new report from Climate TRACE member org @GlobalEnergyMon shows that new fossil fuel projects around the world could add 2.4 million metric tons of #methane emissions annually.

[Global Energy Monitor @GlobalEnergyMon]

🌍🏭 Our annual survey of the global #coal plant fleet reveals critical insights:

🔺 Global coal capacity went up 2% in '23
🇨🇳 China drove 2/3 of new additions
🔽 Outside 🇨🇳+🇮🇳 total proposed capacity at lowest since data collection began

The world is turning away from new coal.

"We found that for every $1 in coal project lending that reached financial close in 2022, another $14 earmarked for previously proposed projects was stopped."

NEW

Coal project finance outside China has fallen 70-fold, reaching its lowest level in at least 12yrs
