Coal India Limited has put special thrust on energy efficiency measures and is forging ahead with a series of measures to offset carbon emission in mining operation in all its coal producing companies.
 
Apart from taking immediate action for efficient use of energy, CIL has also drawn an ambitious five-year plan of carbon offset in different fields of its operation.
 
Coal companies have several areas for implementing energy efficiency measures such as colonies, buildings, offices and industrial establishments, apart from efficient Power Supply Management.
 
However, the major reduction in carbon emission comes from various mining activities like Heavy Earth Moving Machines, Transport, Ventilation, and Pumping.
 
With the help of its subsidiaries, CIL had been taking various energy conservation and efficiency measures over the years and is now moving ahead with emphasis on activities responsible for more environment pollution.
