Toxic water pollution sickens people, and power plants are by far its largest source. The toxics in coal plant waste raise cancer risk, make fish unsafe to eat, and can inflict lasting brain damage on children. Arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead and other pollutants are being discharged into public waters from power plants without any specific limits.

Typically, coal power plants release a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is a dangerous greenhouse gas. The varieties of coal found in India have an additional problem. They have high ash content. Burning coal in the conventional pulverised mode results in the release of a lot of fly ash, a major contributor to air pollution and a health hazard.

Higher efficiencies mean that less fuel is used to generate the rated power, resulting in lower costs and the formation of fewer greenhouse gases. For example, a 60 percent-efficient gasification power plant could cut the formation of carbon dioxide by 40 per cent, compared to a typical coal combustion plant.
