State-owned CIL is aiming at green mining options and increase production from its underground mines, which are favourable for cleaner ecosystem, through installation of technologies, company’s Chairman Pramod Agrawal said.
The comments come at a time when there have been concerns about global climate change on account of the burning of fossil fuels including coal, resulting into greenhouse gas emission.
For environmentally cleaner transportation of coal, Coal India (CIL) is setting up coal handling plant/silos in 35 projects under the first phase of the first-mile connectivity, and stressed that it is continuing in the second phase as well.
