GAIL India and Coal India have joined forces to develop a coal-to-synthetic natural gas (SNG) project in the eastern coalfields. This strategic collaboration aims to leverage domestic coal resources to produce cleaner energy alternatives.
Formation of ‘Coal Gas India’
As part of the partnership, Coal India has established a new subsidiary, Coal Gas India, to drive the project forward. This entity will focus on setting up and managing the coal-to-SNG initiative, ensuring efficient production and utilization.
Adapting to Market Demand
The joint venture of GAIL and Coal India will develop the SNG project while aligning production with current market conditions. As reported by businessworld.in, by converting coal into synthetic natural gas, the companies aim to support India’s energy transition and enhance fuel availability in a sustainable manner.
