Coal India to take up clean coal technologies in a big way (2017) ecoti.in/0wZLsZ | “Coal based power generation capacity of 125 GW in 2012 is likely to touch 330-441 GW by 2040."
"The demand for these plants is likely to be first met by domestic coal, which will require quick exploitation of our reserves. All the above calls for fuller coal resource assessment, optimum mining and efficient use,”
“CIL has to do everything possible to reduce specific coal consumption – that is the amount of coal burned to produce one unit of power – so that there is less burning of coal and less carbon emission,”
US keen to collaborate with India on clean coal technology (2017) | "Clean coal technology is used in supercritical thermal plants are the next generation of coal power plants that are low on emissions and highly efficient in power production."
