The effect of foreign investment on Asian coal power plants

Qinrui Xiahou et al.

Summary: Asia has constructed a large portion of new coal power plants in the past 20 years with significant foreign investment. A study finds that foreign-funded coal power plants have, on average, 3.4% lower carbon dioxide emissions intensity compared to domestically funded plants, mainly due to better technology and cleaner coal. However, this foreign investment does not significantly impact the performance of domestically funded plants. Despite reducing CO2 emissions per unit of electricity, foreign investment in coal power plants increases global reliance on coal and undermines global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
