Coal-fired Power Plants

G7 energy and climate ministers agreed a timeframe Tuesday for phasing out coal-fired power plants, setting a goal in the mid-2030s, in a move hailed as significant by some environmentalists but described as "too late" by others.

Botswana has picked India's Jindal Steel & Power Ltd as the preferred bidder in a tender to build a 300 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant, a notice from its energy ministry showed today.

The plan aims to maximize green energy potential and save costs but will not involve shutting down old and expensive power plants.

India plans to phase down at least 81 coal-fired utilities over the next four years, the power ministry told top energy department officials of state and central government in a letter.

China will help its coal-fired power plants run at full capacity, the government has announced, raising further alarm about the fate of Beijing's climate pledges.

On the coastline near India's southern tip, workers toil on a pier carrying a conveyor belt that cuts a mile into the Indian Ocean where the azure waters are deep enough for ships to berth and unload huge cargoes of coal.

A coal-fired unit of Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company Limited (MPPGCL) broke down on the eve of Dussehra, compounding problems for the state where thermal plants are reportedly facing a fuel shortage, a senior official said today.

The power ministry has set a revised policy to use biomass pellets in coal-burning thermal power plants, encouraging use of agricultural waste that is otherwise burnt by farmers, causing air pollution.

Coal-fired power stations have an average of four days' worth of stock of the fuel, according to the latest data, and more than half the plants are already on alert for outages. Power Minister Raj Kumar Singh has warned.

India could face as long as six months battling to ensure coal-fired power plants have enough fuel as the nation's energy crisis escalates.

A recent study shows that the number of premature deaths due to coal-fired thermal power plant pollution has increased by 60 per cent in cities including Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi/NCT and Bengaluru.

The 11 coal-fired power plants in the National Capital Region contributed just 7 per cent to Delhi's PM2.5 pollution on an average between October 2020 and January 2021, while vehicles contributed 14 per cent, according to a new study.

The listed state-owned lender has a tough balancing act on its financial support for coal-fired power plants, which are a major contributor to air pollution.
