NLCIL Inks MoU with TNC India to Repurpose Mined-Out Lands

NLC India (NLCIL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nature Conservancy India (TNC India) to collaborate on research work pertaining to the repurposing of mined-out lands for setting up of renewable energy projects.

 

The SiteRight tool developed by TNC India will help in determining the suitability of the land to be used for renewable energy projects. The partnership with TNC India will enable NLCIL to leverage the latter's technical expertise and global experience, and jointly develop solutions which explore green energy pathways.

 

By addressing some of India’s most pressing environmental challenges, the endeavour will help to take actions to mitigate carbon emissions.

 

The MoU would strengthen these efforts in line with India’s commitment under CoP-26 to transition to a low-carbon economy and focus on increased use of renewable energy sources.

 

NLCIL is a central public sector enterprise (CPSE) in the power generation sector, under the Ministry of Coal, Government of India (GoI).
