To induce discussions on coal utilization’s future by facing up to reality, coal phaseout issue is discussed. First, 2030-2050 scenario for decarbonization depending only commercialized technologies is examined to confirm that coal phaseout is indispensable. Second, some major technical possibilities including IGCC and CCS are examined to confirm their difficulty. To conclude, it is suggested that coal phaseout scenario should be developed from a wider perspective of East Asia and Oceania region with more concern on energy security and transition to RE100 in the future in this region.
