CCT transfer project on coal preparation technology
Coal preparation technology was set as the main topic of technology
exchange in India considering the importance of high ash coal processing.
1,305 trainees were invited to Japan including 150 Indian experts by the
end of JFY2011
Technology exchange programs dispatching Japanese experts to target
countries were also commenced

Summary
1. JCOAL is conducting several projects under Indi Japan mutual cooperation
in both coal and power sector. Joint declarations at both past and the latest
India-Japan Energy Dialogues acknowledged such significance and
achievement of the Cooperation.
2. CEA-JCOAL Cooperation provided a good opportunity for materialization of
R&M as well as fruitful discussion and information exchange in CCT
transfer program.
3. In a targeted long plant life of nearly 50 years, high plant availability
possible through preventive maintenance. Higher economic efficiency
requires shift to condition based maintenance
4. Idemitsu has been providing technical services to coal users, creating the
further demand of coal, and making the most effective use of coal resources.
5. Applying our products and services, we propose optimum coal-blending and
boiler-operating conditions which lead to improved efficiency and trouble-
free operation in a boiler.
6. We, especially Japanese players in the coal power subsector in India are
anxious to work together with our Indian partners toward sustainable
development of Indian power sector.

We look forward to working with you
