OVERVIEW
Indian Chemical News (ICN) is organizing a day-long conference on “Coal Gasification: Scaling Technology for High-Ash Indian Coal”, at Le Meridien, New Delhi, on August 21, 2026.
India needs coal gasification technology to reduce heavy import dependence on key chemicals and cleaner fuels, utilize massive domestic coal reserves, and transition toward lower-emission industrial processes. The government aims to gasify 100 million tonnes of coal by 2030 through strategic initiatives backed by financial incentives.
The conference arrives at a critical juncture for India's energy security. The Indian government has established the National Coal Gasification Mission, aiming to gasify 100 million tonnes of coal by 2030. This goal was recently bolstered by a massive Rs. 37,500 crore financial incentive scheme for surface coal and lignite gasification projects.
The primary objective of the ICN conference is to address the unique technicalities of gasifying Indian high-ash content coal (typically ranging from 25% to 45% ash) and exploring technology variants designed by Indian and overseas players.
The Conference also aims to map out how converting India’s massive, high-ash domestic coal reserves into synthesis gas (syngas) can act as a direct catalyst for the domestic chemical industry as well as self-reliant in energy. By leveraging syngas, India plans to heavily substitute expensive, imported feedstocks for chemical manufacturing. It aims to discuss navigating the guidelines, eligibility criteria, and application processes for the government's latest financial outlays, project financing, risks, and strategies to successfully draw the projected Rs. 2.5–3 lakh crore investments required to meet national targets.
