Clean Coal Research Initiative (CCRI)

The main focus of the Clean Coal Research Initiative is to utilise indigenous fuel in clean and efficient way for reducing the carbon footprint. Clean coal technology encompass a new generation of energy processes that sharply reduce air emissions and other pollutants from coal-burning power plants. DST’s Call on coal is focused on research, development and demonstration of power generation by using clean coal technologies. The scientific out-come of the proposal should have direct relevance to Indian scenario and should consider harnessing locally available coal efficiently and effectively.
