After a successful and enthusiastically concluded industry interaction in Hyderabad, the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, is gearing up for another roadshow in Mumbai. The event will take place on February 21, 2024, with Amrit Lal Meena, Secretary, Ministry of Coal, as the Chief Guest. The event aims to nurture the growth and widespread adoption of coal gasification projects throughout the country.
Following the approval of the Government of India, a scheme has been developed to promote coal gasification projects in the country, aimed at meeting future energy needs. A total investment of ₹8,500 crore will be allocated by the Ministry of Coal to these projects, covering three categories: Government PSUs, Private Players, and Small Scale Projects.
Promoting coal gasification projects is a strategic move towards diversifying energy sources, reducing reliance on imported fuels, and mitigating environmental impact through the adoption of cleaner technologies. This initiative underscores the Ministry of Coal’s commitment to fostering innovation and cooperation within the energy sector.
The event will bring together key stakeholders, including policymakers, licensors, EPC agencies, PMC consultants, industry frontrunners, and investors, to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with coal gasification projects. The agenda includes engaging conversations, the exchange of best practices, and exploration of avenues for collaboration to propel the growth of gasification initiatives in India.
The Ministry of Coal aims to expedite the adoption of gasification technologies and facilitate the creation of a robust ecosystem for coal-based energy solutions. The event is expected to be a significant step towards achieving these goals, with the involvement of diverse stakeholders dedicated to the sustainable development of India’s energy sector.
