For coal with CCS, it is important to investigate the suitability of different methods of capture (oxy-fuelling, pre-combustion and post-combustion C02 capture) for Indian coal, which suffers from high ash content. Therefore, pre-combustion capture would require the adaptation of IGCC technology to Indian coal quality or instead the use of imported coal, but would offer additional benefits such as higher efficiency. However, its use is starting from a very low level of installed capacity and a much more ambitious approach is needed for both PV and CSP.
