Coal technology development activities in India

Abstract

India is endowed with relatively large reserves of coal that are and are likely to remain the principal source of primary energy for many years to come. The typical Indian coals, however, have a high ash content (20–30%) and poor washability characteristics. These and other problems as well as the positive aspects of Indian coals are discussed. The coal technology development programs planned to respond to the peculiar characteristics of Indian coals and the requirements of the country are highlighted. The significance, concepts, and status of work done on some of the priority projects, such as beneficiation, direct and indirect liquefaction, solvent-refined coal for processing to metallurgical coke, coal-liquid mixture fuels, and organic coal fertilizers, are presented.
