Coal gasification is central to India's energy security and industrial growth, enabling cleaner utilization of vast domestic coal reserves (~400 billion tonnes) to produce syngas for fuel, fertilizers, and chemicals. The National Coal Gasification Mission targets 100 million tonnes of capacity by 2030 to reduce import dependence on crude oil and natural gas, supported by government initiatives, incentives, and indigenous technology development

Coal gasification is central to India's energy security and industrial growth, enabling cleaner utilization of vast domestic coal reserves (~400 billion tonnes) to produce syngas for fuel, fertilizers, and chemicals. The National Coal Gasification Mission targets 100 million tonnes of capacity by 2030 to reduce import dependence on crude oil and natural gas, supported by government initiatives, incentives, and indigenous technology development. 

Key Aspects of India’s Coal Gasification Strategy:
Energy Security & Independence:-
 By converting domestic coal into syngas (cleaner fuel, chemicals, hydrogen), India can significantly reduce reliance on imported fuels and bolster economic resilience.
Clean Technology:-
 Gasification is considered a sustainable method to produce energy, aligning with the nation's efforts to lower emissions while utilizing its strongest natural resource.
Key Targets & Incentives: -
The National Coal Gasification Mission aims for 100 million tonnes (MT) of coal gasification by 2030. The government offers support through a dedicated Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme for early adoption, as mentioned in NITI Aayog's publication.
Industrial Application: -
The syngas produced will be used in multiple sectors, including chemicals and fertilizers, as reported by PIB.
Latest Initiatives:-
 Recent projects include a ₹5,400 crore coal-to-ammonium nitrate facility in Odisha, as reported by B2B Purchase.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...
