NLC India周四表示，该公司已与奥里萨邦的州投资机构签署协议，共同推进一个燃煤发电项目、一项与化肥生产相关的煤制气研究项目，以及一个海滩砂矿资源开发项目。以下是更多详细信息：这家国有矿业和电力公司称，计划中的热电厂总投资将达到3500亿卢比（约合36.9亿美元），装机容量为3200兆瓦。海滩砂矿资源加工项目的初步投资额为200亿卢比。
NLC India said on Thursday it has signed an agreement with Odisha's state investment agency to pursue a coal-fired power plant, a coal-gasification study tied to fertilizer production and a beach sand minerals project. Here are more details:
虽然NLC尚未公布煤制气项目的具体投资金额，但表示会探索将煤炭转化为合成气（主要成分是氢气和一氧化碳）的可能性，以便将其用于化肥生产。煤制气技术可以将煤炭转化为合成气，这种气体可用于制造化学品和化肥；而海滩砂矿中的钛铁矿、金红石和锆石等矿物则可用于生产颜料、陶瓷产品以及航空航天和钛基材料。
尽管全球都在推动向更清洁的能源转型，但NLC的这一举措仍表明其对基于煤炭的基础设施项目的坚定支持。随着电力需求的持续增长，该公司预计该燃煤发电项目将创造约4000个就业机会，海滩砂矿资源开发项目将创造约500个就业机会。
The planned thermal plant would involve an investment of 350 billion rupees ($3.69 billion) and have a capacity of 3,200 megawatt, the state-owned miner and power producer said The beach sand mineral processing facility would involve a tentative investment of 20 billion rupees While NLC did not disclose the investment for the coal-gasification proposal, it said it would explore the possibility of coal gasification and the production of synthesis gas for its use in the fertilizer sector Coal gasification converts coal into synthesis gas, mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide, that is used to make chemicals and fertilizers, while beach sand minerals such as ilmenite, rutile and zircon are used in pigments, ceramics, aerospace and titanium-based products The move marks a significant commitment to coal-based infrastructure despite global pressure to shift toward cleaner energy, as electricity demand surges NLC estimates the power project could create about 4,000 jobs and the minerals facility about 500
