Continuous coal combustion in thermal power stations and delay in implementation of the latest 'carbon capture storage technology, according to the international Energy Agency Clean Coal Center', are major causes of air pollution in India. Coal-based thermal power stations total sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and are responsible for the total particulate matter emissions. Recently a Delhi-based think tank has also discussed measures to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint of India's coal-fired power sector, and the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF & CC) has been informed about coal-based heating in the country. Warned against extending the deadline to meet emission norms for power plants. India has been suggested to include this as part of its climate commitment. Let's know more about International Energy Agency Clean Coal Centre - IEACCC.
