Coal plays a critical role in our energy mix, providing over 70 per cent of India s electricity supply. It is likely to remain a mainstay for several more years, given India s immense power needs and domestic availability of coal. But coal is also the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. It burns to produce emissions that are a leading anthropogenic source of global warming, acid rain, smog and toxic air and water. We need to use coal efficiently to reduce its environmental costs. CSE s Green Rating Project analysis of India s coal-based power sector paints a sobering picture but also offers recommendations for improving the environmental and social performance of this important sector.
