🔆Grade of Indian Coal

 
✅A recent report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project claims that in 2014, the Adani Group falsely labeled low-grade Indonesian coal as high-quality.
✅They inflated its value and sold it to Tamil Nadu's power generation company, TANGEDCO. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project is a venture backed by billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist, George Soros.

📍Understanding Coal Quality
✅Coal quality is determined by its Gross Calorific Value (GCV).
✅GCV is the amount of heat or energy that can be generated from burning the coal.
✅Coal being a fossil fuel is a mixture of carbon, ash, moisture and a host of other impurities.
Higher carbon content indicates higher quality or grade of coal.

📍Types of coal: Coal is characterized into different categories:
Non-coking coal where grading is based on Gross Heat content;
Coking Coal where grading is based on ash %; and
Semi coking coal and weakly coking coal where grading is based on ash and moisture %.

Coal Grades
The higher the available carbon in a unit of coal, the greater is its quality or ‘grade.’
✅There are 17 grades of coal, from grade 1 (highest quality) to the lowest grade.
✅Grade 1 coal yields over 7,000 kcal/kg, while the lowest grades yield 2,200-2,500 kcal/kg.

📍Application Context

✅The usefulness of coal depends on its application, such as in thermal power plants or steel production, each requiring different types of coal.
🔰E.g., Non-coking coal is used in thermal power plants. It can have higher ash content but still generate sufficient heat for boilers and turbines.
🔰Coking Coal is essential for steel production, requires minimal ash content.

✅These ranges from a common boundary between Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa.
✅Vegetation: It comprises of rich evergreen, semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests.
✅The habitat of Sahyadri is composed of woodlands, grasslands and plateau.
✅The most distinct feature of the Tiger Reserve is the presence of numerous barren rocky and lateritic plateaus, locally called “Sadas”, with less perennial vegetation and over hanging cliffs on the edges along with numerous fallen boulders with dense thorny bushes.
✅It is the first Tiger Reserve of Western Maharashtra and the fourth Tiger Reserve of the State spreading over two Protected Areas of Koyana Sanctuary (KWLS) and Chandoli National Park (CNP).
✅KWLS and CNP are part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites. Birdlife International has declared this area an ‘Important Bird Area’.
✅CNP has a number of ecotone areas and is thus highly species rich.
✅Fauna: The Tiger Reserve is home to the endangered species of top carnivores such as Tiger, Wild dog, and Leopard.
✅As many as 30 species of mammals have been recorded. In addition, the area is home to Vultures and Crocodiles. The habitat also supports Hornbills, and many other endemic Birds. The Blue finned Mahasheer fish is present in the Koyana waters.

🔆What is Campi Flegrei?

✅The strongest earthquake to hit Italy’s Campi Flegrei supervolcano region in decades struck recently.

✅Campi Flegrei (known as Phlegrean Fields in English) is an active volcanic area located in the vicinity of Naples, Italy.

✅Unlike the nearby Mount Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei is not characterised by a single volcano.

✅It is more of a volcanic systemwith several centres situated within a caldera (the depression created when emptying magma chambers causes the roof of a volcano to collapse)

✅It was formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. According to a new hypothesis, this eruption could have been the beginning of the end of the Neanderthal.

One-third of it lies under the Tyrrhenian Sea, between the Italian mainland and the country’s island of Sardinia. 

✅It is the largest active caldera in Europe. It is much larger than the cone-shaped Vesuvius, which destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii in AD79 and is much more active.

✅It last erupted in 1538, after an interval of about 3000 years. This eruption, although minor in comparison, formed Monte Nuovo, a new mountain.

✅Scientists consider Campi Flegrei to be a supervolcano whose eruptions can have worldwide effects
