The Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT) developed by Global Energy Monitor provides information on coal-fired power units from around the world generating 30 megawatts and above. The GCPT catalogues every operating coal-fired generating unit, every new unit proposed since 2010, and every unit retired since 2000. Units often consist of a boiler and turbine, and several units may make up one coal-fired power station.
The overall goal of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is to protect human health and the environment from the releases of mercury.
