Cabinet approves ₹8500 crore incentive scheme for coal gasification projects

Subject: Environment

Section: Climate change

Context:

  • The Union Cabinet approved a ₹8,500 crore incentive scheme for coal gasification projects.
  • The adoption of gasification technology in India is expected to reduce the country’s reliance on imports of natural gas, methanol, ammonia and other essential products.

Coal gasification:

  • The Government is targeting to gasify100 million tonnes (MT) of coal by 2030.
  • In the gasification process, coal is partially oxidised by air, oxygen, steam, or carbon dioxide under controlled conditions to produce a liquid fuel known as syngas. Syngas or synthesis gas can be used for power generation and to make methanol as well.
    • Syngas is a mixture consisting primarily of methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O).
  • In-situ gasification of coal – or Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) – is the technique of converting coal into gas while it is still in the seam and then extracting it through wells.
