Gadkari Advocates Coal Gasification in Vidarbha Mines

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has proposed the utilisation of non-functional coal mines in Vidarbha for coal gasification projects. The initiative aims to repurpose these mines, fostering environmentally friendly practices and contributing to the region's economic development.

Gadkari's suggestion aligns with the broader national agenda to explore cleaner energy alternatives and repurpose existing resources. The coal gasification projects are envisioned to leverage non-functional mines, transforming them into centres for sustainable energy production.

This proposal not only addresses the challenge of non-functional coal mines but also aligns with India's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards cleaner energy sources. Coal gasification offers a potential solution by converting coal into a cleaner synthesis gas that can be used for various energy applications.

Vidarbha, with its rich coal reserves, becomes a strategic focus for implementing such innovative projects. The repurposing of non-functional coal mines for gasification aligns with sustainable development goals, creating opportunities for economic growth while minimizing environmental impact.

As discussions on repurposing non-functional coal mines gain momentum, Gadkari's proposal showcases a proactive approach towards sustainable energy practices and reinforces the government's commitment to transforming traditional sectors for a greener future. The coal gasification projects in Vidarbha have the potential to be a model for environmentally conscious resource utilisation and energy production in India.
