Coal, the world's most abundant fossil fuel, plays a vital role in the world energy mix. It supplies 24 percent of the total global energy and 40 percent of global electricity. In Asia, coal accounts for almost 75 percent of electricity generation nationally, and is most likely to remain the principal fuel source in the future.
As a prospering country with world's 5th largest coal reserve, India's energy mix mainly comprises of coal (52 per cent), oil (32 per cent), gas (10 per cent), hydro electricity (5 per cent) and nuclear energy (1 per cent). Coal demand is expected to rise 41% in the year ending March 2017. Against the background of climate change and the nature of Indian coal, clean coal technologies such as coal upgrading, coal gasification, UCG, CTL and CCS have been highly advocated by the governments, coal and power producers to secure a sustainable, reliable and economical power industry.
With our seasoned expertise in clean coal industry, WCCW is now in its 3rd successful year. Themed as the "Roadmap to Active Deployment of Cleaner Coal Technologies", the two-day summit featuring the top-level speaker panels and cutting-edge technology showcases is ideally timed to examine the vital questions that will shape Indian clean coal future. The India Focus 2012 is an event for you to attain deep understandings on India and other countries' clean coal initiatives, roadmap, regulatory environment, ongoing pilots of pioneer coal owners and utilities, network national and international clean coal industry executives and share insights on the future market developments.
