Book Details
While oil prices have reached record levels globally, considerable attention is being directed towards different sources of energy, both conventional as well as non-conventional, that would define our energy future. For a country like India reliance on the use of coal as a major source of energy is an imperative that is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Yet, coal remains a source of energy about which the public and even policymakers do not know enough. This book attempts to demystify the issue of coal in India by providing a thought-provoking analysis of the current and future availability of this important source of energy, while looking at the range of issues that will be critical for us to move towards an efficient and cleaner coal-economy in the coming decades.
