Fertilizers • Motivation to use technology of underground coal gasification (UCG) as the

Pulp and future coal utilizing technique due to environmental benefits such as no surface
paper disposal of ash and coal tailings, reduced water consumption, reduced methane
emission and other benefits. UCG technology is well developed and is being
Textiles used in countries including China, Russia, and Spain.

• Exploring the use of cleaner technology of using coalbed methane (CBM) which 3.1

can be used as a feedback in the manufacture of urea

Revised Restructures Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme(RR-TUFS):

• This is a scheme by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India (GoI) for

modernization and upgradation of technology for existing units and to set up
new units in the textile industry of India.

• The scheme extends investment support for energy-saving devices, effluent

treatment plants, and other environment friendly technologies.

• AComprehensive Integrated Software Development has been launched to

consolidate the existing TUFS (iTUFS).

Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT):

• The four centres of excellence (CoE) established within the mission (namely,

Geotech, Protech, Meditech, and Agrotech) have elements that promote
energy audits and hazardous waste management. Four additional CoE will be
established Nonwovens, Composites, Indutech and Sportech.

• Supporting research projects involved in studying environmental aspects of

textile industry during the period between 2010–15 with a total outlay of
INR 100 crore (USD 17 million)
