TRANSFORMING THE POWER SYSTEM IN ENERGY-POOR COUNTRIES
If 10 average-sized coal plants are retired early each year, and replaced with clean power plants, more than 4.5 billion tons of CO 2 could be saved. Coal plants that already exist in these 81 countries will contribute 62 billion tons of CO 2 over their life-times, which is more than total global emission in 2020.
