abstract = {Several European countries plan to phase out coal-fired
power plants in order to reach their greenhouse gas
abatement targets. Additionally, the phase-out will bring
about so-called ancillary effects or co-effects. In our
study, we focus on the co-effects induced in the countries
that export coal to Europe. Furthermore, we examine the
ancillary effects imposed on China as a major supplier of
technologies (like solar energy technologies) that will
replace coal-fired power plants. Using a combination of an
input-output model, econometric analysis and employing the
concept of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development
Goals, we assess impacts of coal phase-out policies on
environmental, economic, and societal dimensions. Our
results show that despite negative impacts on income and
employment in coalexporting countries, a phase-out of
coal-fired power plants is linked with multiple positive
effects. In particular, we observe improvements in water
management and biodiversity conservation, reduced release of
pollutants, and improvements on a societal level. However,
even if we consider a reduction in the use of coal in the
European steel production sector as an additional challenge,
these positive impacts on coal exporting countries remain
rathersmall. The same applies to the effects we observe for
China.},
