Clean coal, not solar, is the silver bullet for India’s carbon emission reduction
Keywords: India Coal, Coal India, India Climate Change,
Tags: Current Focus, India, Oil & Gas,
Prakash and Ghosh in the Hindusthan Times remind readers that even though India has ambitious plans for renewable energy much remains to be done in shifting to clean coal technologies. An estimated 80% of India's coal plants use obsolete technologies, making this an obvious area for improvement. India plans to make solar the source of 100GW of 175GW it plans to generate in renewable energy by 2022. Yet it must not be forgotten that coal is a dominant source for the foreseeable future and shifting to clean coal technologies is an area that should get top priority from the government. Today India is the third largest in terms of carbon emissions after the U.S and China.

Coal India under the Modi administration- problems with lack of technology and the 1 billion ton target for 2020
05/14/2015
India's coal monopoly Coal India, is state run and hugely inefficient, lacking technology that is commonly found in other countries. The average age of 333,000 employees is 45-50, and with the lack of modern technology, an eight hour shift can produce what a modern mine in the U.S. could do in 5 minutes, say experts. Coal plays a critical role for electricity production to power India's manufacturing, and its economy. The Modi administration is focussing on efficiency, introducing competition, and setting a target of about 15% growth in output for the next 5 years. Only about 75% of Indians have access to electricity, much lower than Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. China is close to 100%.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
