About the Event:
Coal, the world’s most abundant fossil fuel, plays a vital role in the world energy mix. As a prospering country with world’s 5th largest coal reserve, India’s energy mix mainly comprises of coal (52 per cent), oil (32 per cent), gas (10 per cent), hydro electricity (5 per cent) and nuclear energy (1 per cent). Coal continues playing it’s dominant role in India’s efforts to achieve a targeted 7-8% economic growth and its demand is expected to rise 41% in the year ending March 2017.
Shortfall in coal supply and low efficient power generation infrastructures are to blame for its constant power shortage in India, underlining an urgent need to upgrade the power sector. To this end, tackling the crisis-riddled power sector with advanced coal power generation technologies seems potentially a practical way.
Due to the inherent nature of high ash and low heating value, India’s coal has always been considered low quality. Every year, air pollution caused by coal ash and coal-powered power plants have reportedly claimed 70,000 lives in India where limited emission control has been applied. Meanwhile, to make the best use of its coal, the Government of India has taken various steps to promote clean coal technologies – such as coal upgrading, coal gasification, Underground Coal Gasification (UCG), Coal to Liquid (CTL), Coal-bed Methanation (CBL), etc., in anticipation of upgrading its energy mix, yet easing the air pollution intensity.
Against this background, the SZ&W Group is organizing the 2nd Annual World Clean Coal Week India Focus 2013 from April 18-19 at New Delhi, India, with the support of Government of India, the Carbon Capture & Storage Association (CCSA), IEA Clean Coal Centre, UCG Association, Mongolian National Mining Association (MNMA) and Global CCS Institute.
With the central theme, “Roadmap to Active Deployment of Cleaner Coal Technologies”, the event offers a new angle to look at the clean coal market in India with fresh project updates and various tailor-made roundtables. Over 300 delegates are expected to attend the WCCW India Focus 2013.
The event would feature panel discussions, exhibition, workshops and networking opportunities. ThinktoSustain.com is the Media Partner for the event.
