German government-owned business and development bank KfW stops financing all coal-related business activities. The KfW Group鈥檚 new 鈥溾�� rules out financing the 鈥減rospection, exploration and mining of coal; land-based means of transport and related infrastructure essentially used for coal; power plants, heating stations and cogeneration facilities essentially fired聽with coal.鈥� It also says that 鈥淚nvestments in power transmission grids with significant coal-based power feed-in will only be聽pursued聽in countries and regions with聽an ambitious national climate protection policy or strategy (NDC), or where the investments are targeted at reducing the share of coal-based power in the relevant grid.鈥�

Previously, KfW had only ruled out financing the construction of new coal power plants, according to environmental NGO Urgewald. The NGO welcomed KfW鈥檚 decision, but added it followed 鈥測ears of hesitation鈥� while comparable French, Dutch and Swiss institutions stopped financing coal as early as 2013. 鈥淪adly, KfW again misses an opportunity to take a leading role among public banks. It should have used its new energy rules to start the exit from other fossil fuels,鈥� Urgewald said, adding KfW could still finance certain types of oil and gas production.聽聽聽
