Kyun kiya yeh plan approve?
Duniya mein energy ko lekar jo tensions chal rahi hain, usko dekh kar aur LNG, methanol jaise imports par bharosa kam karne ke liye yeh move liya gaya hai. Sarkar chahti hai ki desh ka jo coal ka khazana hai, usko use karke energy mein atmanirbhar banein.
Khel Kaisa Hoga?
Is scheme se ₹2.5-3 lakh Crore tak ke downstream investments ko promote karne ka target hai. India ka aim hai ki 2030 tak 100 million tonnes coal gasification capacity tak pahunch jaye. Desh mein coal ke reserves 401 billion tonnes hain, jo lagbhag 200 saal chal sakte hain, aur abhi bhi humari energy ka 55% hissa coal se aata hai.
Kon Kon Hai Is Field Mein?
Jindal Steel toh pehle se hi gasification plant chala raha hai, aur Coal India Limited bhi projects bana raha hai. Reliance Industries, ONGC jaise bade players bhi is sector mein hain. Yeh strategy renewable energy ke saath-saath chal rahi hai, jismein 2030 tak 500 GW renewable energy ka target hai.
Kya Hain Risks?
Lekin sab kuch itna bhi aasan nahi hai. Coal gasification mein 5-7 saal lagte hain project complete hone mein aur kaafi paisa lagta hai. India ka coal aksar ash-heavy hota hai, jis se technology mein dikkat aa sakti hai. Environment ko lekar bhi chinta hai, jaise greenhouse gas emissions aur paani ka jyada istemal. Aur sabse bada sawaal yeh hai ki kya yeh economically feasible hai jab renewables itne saste hote ja rahe hain.
Sarkar ne ise aur attractive banane ke liye coal linkage tenure ko 30 saal tak badha diya hai, taaki private players aa sakein. Lekin akhir mein, yeh strategy kitni successful hogi, yeh toh time hi batayega. Lekin sarkar toh apni taraf se poora zor laga rahi hai.
