Coal power plant

India's coal-based thermal power plants are biggest source of GHG emission. A new report by CSE urges practical solutions, improving plant efficiency, using biomass, & rethinking outdated power sector policies to reduce emission while keeping coal in mix.

Adani Power acquired the thermal energy project in 2023, gaining full control by Oct 2024. Now operated by subsidiary Anuppur Thermal Energy (MP) Pvt Ltd.

2023 में अडानी पावर लिमिटेड ने इस परियोजना का अधिग्रहण किया और अक्टूबर 2024 तक 100 प्रतिशत नियंत्रण हासिल कर लिया। अडानी ग्रुप की सहायक कंपनी अनूपपुर थर्मल एनर्जी (मप्र) प्राइवेट लिमिटेड के नाम से यह परियोजना अब जानी जाती है।

The Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) released a new analysis, stating that India is developing disproportionate coal-based power capacity.

The latest Global Energy Monitor report reveals a worrying trend: global coal-fired steelmaking capacity is increasing rather than decreasing, despite the urgent need for decarbonisation.

In a recent analysis by the Center for Science and Environment (CSE), it was revealed that India's coal-fired power plants are struggling to meet emission standards, particularly in controlling Sulfur dioxide emissions (SO2).

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed Northern Coalfields to pay a compensation of Rs 10 crore. The court imposed

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), which is the private sector arm of the World Bank, has announced that it will not provide

While the start-up of new coal power projects in the country has been at its lowest level in years, plans for new projects are still being made and there is no clear plan to shut down old plants with low output and efficiency.
