News Desk, News Nation 360 : The 17th Indian Coal Markets Conference, which runs for two days in Kolkata, was opened by mjunction services limited, the biggest B2B e-commerce company in India. The conference's theme is Black to Green: Building a Sustainable Future for Coal, and it gives leaders in the field a chance to summarise the profound changes the coal industry is going through. Vinaya Varma, MD & CEO of mjunction Services Limited, gave the welcome speech and mentioned that presently coal is needed for a variety of uses, including the production of steel and coal gasification. However, as people turn back to coal to meet the rapidly increasing demand for thermal energy, worries about carbon emissions continue to surface. The theme for
this year's conference has been selected with this context in mind. The conference covered important topics related to the energy and coal industries in this period of intense geopolitical turmoil, as well as the push for decarbonisation and emission reduction. Among the main topics that were covered on the first day of the conference were how India's energy transition process is developing and what would be the ideal ratio of fossil fuel to renewable energy. Additionally, there were talks specifically focused on the dynamics of the world energy trade and commercial coal mining.
