CIL-GAIL JV Floats EOI for Coal Gasification Project

Project Overview:

Coal India Limited (CIL) and GAIL (India) Limited have jointly floated an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a major coal gasification project. The project, valued at approximately ?13,000 crore, aims to advance coal gasification technology in India. Objective:

The primary goal is to develop and implement advanced coal gasification technologies. This initiative is part of India’s broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the efficiency of coal usage. Technological Scope:

The EOI seeks to identify and partner with technology providers who can offer innovative solutions for coal gasification. Technologies should focus on increasing efficiency, lowering emissions, and improving the economic viability of coal gasification. Expected Outcomes:

The successful implementation of this project is expected to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of coal-based power generation. It will also contribute to energy security by transforming coal into cleaner syngas that can be used for power generation and chemical production. Timeline and Phases:

The project will be executed in multiple phases, with initial technology assessments followed by pilot projects and full-scale implementation. Specific timelines for each phase will be defined upon the selection of technology partners. Impact on Industry:

This project will bolster India's coal gasification sector and promote the use of clean coal technologies. It aligns with the government’s objective of enhancing sustainable energy practices and reducing reliance on imported fuels. Call for Participation:

The EOI invites domestic and international companies with proven expertise in coal gasification to participate. Interested parties are required to submit detailed proposals outlining their technological capabilities and project implementation plans. Conclusion: The CIL-GAIL joint venture’s initiative to float an EOI for a ?13,000 crore coal gasification project represents a significant step towards modernizing coal utilization in India. By seeking advanced technologies, the project aims to enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of coal-based energy.
