Producing natural gas from coal

The possibility of making natural gas, methanol, ammonia and other essential products from coal is being explored in the mines of South Eastern Coalfoields Limited (SECL). If implemented, this will be the first such project in the state of Chhattisgarh. Coal gasification is the cleanest and most eco-friendly way to convert coal components into electricity,

India to launch programme to boost coal gasification

The programme will involve use of 100mn t of domestic coal and lignite in gasification projects. Coal gasification is the process of converting coal into syngas — a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, natural gas, and water vapour. The syngas can be processed to produce energy fuel, methanol, and products such as ammonia

India Aims To Achieve 100 MT Coal Gasification Target By 2030

The Ministry of Coal has set a target to achieve coal gasification of 100 Million Tonne (MT) coal by FY 2030 reflecting the government’s commitment to harnessing the power of coal gasification. With the introduction of this ambitious proposal, Coal Ministry aims to propel the nation’s progress.  The proposal incorporates a comprehensive set of measures
