White Coal - A Sustainable, Viable, Eco Friendly Alternative to Fossil Fuel: A Critical Analysis with Special Reference to India

The paper analyses White Coal and Briquetting technology as a viable alternative to polluting fossil fuels. The importance of this as an alternative has been realised by the Indian Government. The government has gone and is going great lengths to encourage the manufacture of briquettes. This would go a long way in solving major macro-economic issues that India faces in terms of unemployment, and it would also address the issue of health that is being faced by the marginalised Indians due to the continuous use of harmful wood, coal, and dung as household fuel. The importance of this medium has been recognised; the question at hand is to increase its usage.
