Background
Overview
Addresses India's energy security, import dependence, environmental sustainability, rural development (biomass), technological challenges, and policy choices for industrial development.
Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts organic or fossil-based materials into a synthesis gas (syngas), which can then be used to produce fuels, chemicals (like methanol, ammonia, fertilizers), and power. India's National Coal Gasification Mission aims to leverage this technology for energy security and reduced import dependence.
