List of proposed coal fired power stations in Australia

Coal fired power stations produce greenhouse gas emissions which according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change cause global warming, with serious impacts including climate change and sea level rise.

Burning coal will therefore be directly responsible for increasing the effects of global warming on Australia and other countries unless carbon capture and storage becomes a proven commercial technology, which is not expected for at least 15 years.
