India’s coal production to rise to 500MT in 2023: report

It has produced 315.7MT of coal in the first half of 2022.

India’s coal production could reach 500 Million tonnes (MT) in the second half of 2023, CareEdge Research reported.

India produced a total of 315.7MT of coal across Coal India Limited (CIL), Singareni Collieries Company Limited, and Captives in the first half of 2022.

This has to cross the 380MT in the first half of 2023 (April to September), representing a 21% year-on-year growth.

CareEdge noted CIL accounted for the largest share of coal contribution, followed by Captives.

“This growth was supported by various government initiatives to maintain the coal demand and supply in the country and the contribution of the new commercial mines that became operational in Q1 FY23,” the report read in part.

“This increased production by Captives has helped in meeting the demand-supply gap in the domestic market. The contribution of Captives in total domestic coal production during H1FY23 has increased to around 14% from an earlier 11% during H1FY22.”

Moreover, the coal despatch to the power sector, which accounts for the largest coal despatch, has increased by around 17%YoY.

As of August 2022, the energy deficit in the country has come down to 0.4% (465 million units) against 0.5% (638 million units) in August 2021.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
