Thermal power plants (TPPs) are some of the key emitters of pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter (PM). In order to curb emissions from TPPs, power plants operators are increasingly installing appropriate emission […]
The Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) industry has been grappling with the challenges of under-utilisation of manufacturing capacity and a shrinking order pipeline from thermal power plants (TPPs) in view of the shifting focus of […]
Testing and measurement (T&M) solutions are crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and optimising the operations and maintenance of power plants. They also play a vital role in maintaining the life expectancy of power plant assets. […]
Coal-based capacity remains the largest contributor to power generation in India with a share of 71 per cent in 2020-21, supported by a large coal reserve in the country. Despite the decline in its share […]
Flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems are a must have coal-based plants as they help comply with the stringent environmental norms notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) on December 7, 2015. […]
Despite the falling costs of renewable energy, coal-based power plants will continue to be the mainstay of India’s energy basket, believes global equipment major GE. In a recent interaction, Michael Keroullé, chief commercial officer, GE […]
In a significant policy development this month that came as a big relief to thermal power plant (TPP) owners, the government has issued a notification stating that investments in the installation of emission control technologies […]
Can the revised environmental norms for thermal power plants be a catalyst for the growth of the equipment industry? Industry observers say the answer is yes. The power equipment industry has been hit hard in […]
Aimed at regulating the pollution caused by thermal power plants, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) revised the standards for emissions from thermal power plants in December 2015. Apart from tightening the […]
The coal-based thermal power sector is responsible for a significant share of industrial emissions in India. As per Centre for Science and Environment estimates, the coal-based power industry accounts for as much as 45 per […]
Given coal’s dominance in the power generation segment in India, clean coal technologies (CCTs) hold a key position in the country’s sustainable energy security strategy. Reduction in environmental pollution caused by emissions and efficiency enhancement […]
The rising demand for power in India has been met increasingly through coal-based power, which accounts for 60 per cent of the country’s total installed capacity base of 320 GW (as of March 2017). The […]
