The policy and finance implications of TransitionZero’s Coal to Clean Carbon Price Index

This webinar introduced TransitionZero’s newly launched Coal to Clean Carbon Price Index (C3PI), which shows the economic case for switching from coal to clean electricity, and brings carbon pricing experts together to discuss what this means for both policymakers and financers.

C3PI is an open data project that tracks the carbon price required to switch from existing coal to new onshore wind or solar PV plus battery storage in 25 countries. C3PI is based on a methodology report by TransitionZero and a database of coal and gas plants developed by the Global Energy Monitor. To capture fossil fuel price volatility, C3PI will be updated monthly. We hope C3PI becomes a useful proxy to track the carbon cost required to leapfrog unabated fossil gas and transition to zero-carbon electricity generation.
