The global transition from fossil to clean energy is well underway in Europe. Since 2012, coal-fired generation in the EU has dropped by almost a third while renewable power has increased from 14.2% to 23% of total generation. By 2021, Belgium, Austria, Sweden and Portugal had entirely stopped burning coal to generate electricity. This trend will only continue: by 2030, around half of European coal power plants are expected to be retired with most European countries planning to fully phase out coal before 2040.
