  • National Scenario (India’s Global Energy Scenario)

National Scenario (India's Global Energy Scenario)

  • Our nation ‘India’ has an huge amount of coal reserves up to 60,000/- million tonnes.
  • This is sufficient for our country upto further 200 to 220 years.
  • If compared with other countries in the world it is 6  to 7 % of the world’s reserve.
  • How long this reserve will be available is indicated by the ratio Reserve/ Production i.e. R/ P ratio.
  • In the world, our country stand 4th in the producer of coal and lignite. 
  • Coal mines are in the different parts of our country :

          (1) Bihar,

          (2) Madhya Pradesh,

          (4) Uttar Pradesh,
          (5) Orissa,
          (6) West Bengal,
          (7) Jharkhand.

  • The other countries in the world which as largest proved reserves are : (1) China, (2) US, (3) Russia.
  • The R / P ratio is 254 years of Europe countries.
  • As oil is concerned in the current scenario, its consumption is expected to be 2000 MT by the end of 2018. 
  • Total worlds proved oil reserves are 1500 billion barrels upto 2017.  World’s proved natural gas reserves are 185 trillion cubic meters (tcm).
  • In rising use of coal, India’s Co2emission is 5.5 % of the word’s emission.
