Accelerating the early retirement and repurposing of coal-fired power plants in emerging economies by scaling innovative financing and technological solutions

The Coal to Clean initiative is a unique platform where hundreds of stakeholders from energy, finance, and civil society can exchange best practices and forge partnerships to accelerate coal-transition projects. It focuses on unlocking financing for the retirement of coal-fired power plants in emerging economies, currently a critical challenge in advancing the global energy transition.

The Initiative brings together banks, asset managers, coal-fired power producers and governments to co-create solutions to address reputational and investment risks while building a strong business case for investing in the coal to clean transition.
