A paper in Nature Climate Change, co-authored by an IIIEE researcher, alumna and student, shows that pledges to phase out coal are so far largely limited to older plants in richer countries. Reaching climate targets requires phasing out coal power without carbon capture and storage, as pledged by the members of Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA). Prof. Aleh Cherp and his co-authors show that these
