A Resource and Technology Assessment of Coal Utilization in India

This report reviews coal utilization in India and examines current and emerging coal power technologies with near- and long-term potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal power generation. The study concludes that it is critical for policymakers not only to consider and implement technologies that meet the near-term needs of the country but also to set the coal-based power sector on a path that would allow it to better respond to future challenges, including the key challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
