Angul: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 60 delegates of the National Mineral Congress, organised by the Indian National Committee World Mining Congress and supported by the Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India, visited the Coal Gasification Plant (CGP) set up by Jindal Steel & Power (JSP) at Angul, Odisha on the second day of the Mining Congress on 28th May 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visiting team, comprised of senior mining professionals from various metal, mining & mining technology organisations across India, had an overview of all the units of the CGP to have first-hand knowledge about its functioning and advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JSP\u2019s Managing Director V.R. Sharma and other senior officials explained to the visiting delegates various features of the CGP and the process for the production of the synthesis gas. JSP is the first steelmaker in the world to produce steel through the CGP \u2013 DRI route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the first session of the National Mineral Congress held at Bhubaneswar on 27th May 2022, JSP\u2019s Chairman Naveen Jindal said, “Coal Gasification is the future of Coal”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jindal highlighted the benefits of coal gas technology for producing clean energy. \u201cCoal Gasification uses the chemical energy of coal and offers the cleanest and most efficient means to produce sponge steel and chemicals like methanol, ethanol, and blue hydrogen,” said Jindal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jindal thanked the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Coal for encouraging Coal Gasification technology. \u201cWe are committed to take care of the environment and simultaneously ensure economic development for becoming the \u2018Atma Nirbhar Bharat\u2019 through the application of green technologies like coal gasification. The industry needs to collaborate with each other and work together to make this technology more efficient,\u201d Jindal added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participating in this session MD, JSP V.R. Sharma also highlighted various advantages of coal gas technology. \u201cThe synthesis gas produced from the CGP contains 60 percent hydrogen. We can make the cheapest blue hydrogen from this. The Government needs to ensure the availability of coal to the CGP from a single coal mine; so that it can get coal of consistent quality and achieve better efficiency,\u201d Sharma said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V.R. Sharma suggested that more Coal Gasification Plants needs to be promoted in and around coal-bearing areas so that the logistics expenses are minimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharma also said that India should install Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants based on Syn. Gas or Coal gas. This will help Govt. in reducing coal transportation. \u201cInstead of coal transportation we should transport power through transmission lines” Sharma added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visiting delegation appreciated JSP for pioneering the technology to make steel, using synthesis gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JSP commissioned the Coal Gasification Plant of 225,000 Normal Meter Cubed per Hour capacity in 2014, which is a milestone for global steel the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CGP uses high ash coal which is predominantly available in the vicinity of the Project site. The Coal-Gasification Plant set up by Jindal Steel & Power at Angul has become a \u2018Technology Demonstrator\u2019 and is frequently visited by national and international dignitaries and organizations. Students from Harvard University and MIT visited the CGP and wrote out an in-depth case study on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
