About Us

Centre for Clean Coal Energy And Net Zero
An IITH - CIL Initiative

The Centre of Clean Coal Energy & Net Zero (CLEANZ) is a CoE jointly established by IIT Hyderabad and Coal India Limited to develop innovative solutions for sustainable coal utilization and clean energy. India has one of the largest coal reserves in the world, which has the potential to fulfill the country's energy security for several centuries. The development of clean and efficient technologies is crucial for the efficient utilization of this abundant resource. CLEANZ is committed to promote the development of high-impact coal-based technologies by integrating advanced scientific approaches with real-world applications. The center aims to create scalable solutions for clean coal utilization, CO₂ management, and circular economy. By combining interdisciplinary expertise with strong industry-academia partnerships, CLEANZ aims to support the transition of coal-based energy systems in line with India's net-zero goals.
