Scope : Setting up Coal gasification project in Chandrapur, Maharashtra
In line with the government’s push towards coal gasification, state-run Coal India Limited (CIL) is considering setting up coal gasification project by 2026.
Pre-feasibility report studies is being conducted to set up coal gasification plant in Maharashtra
Pre-feasibility reports for coal gasification plant is being conducted in Western Coalfields Limited (Nagpur) and land patches is being identified within their command area. The project will require coal input and will convert the fossil fuel into syngas — a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, natural gas, and water vapour.
The project is expected to come up in Maharashtra’s Chandrapur area (Western Coalfields Limited). WCL project will require coal input of 1 MTPA. The tentative timeline for the completion of this project is 2022-2026
The new project involves using mined coal to produce syngas which comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the first phase. In the second phase, the syngas is processed to get desired products for sector-specific industries. Such plant would require anywhere between 100 and 200 acres of land and a permanent water source.
