Encouraging indigenous clean coal technologies

Coal is the mainstay of the Indian energy system, and close to 70% of the total electric generation is coal-based. The government has taken the following steps to introduce clean coal technologies in the coal sector to contribute to the future energy security of the country.

Mission coking coal has been launched to augment coking coal production and supply and to meet the demand of the steel sector. Under this mission, 12 coking coal washeries are being constructed having a capacity of approximately 30 MTY.

The government has launched a coal gasification mission with a target to gasify 100 MT by 2030. Under this mission, Surface Coal/Lignite Gasification projects are being constructed.

The government is producing CBM gases from coal-bearing areas. The government is also working on the coal to hydrogen mission.
