The article evaluates how coal-based electricity generation in India impacts the environment. A new model called CEEPA was created to assess this. By comparing three coal-fired power plants, it was found that they produce different levels of greenhouse gases. The study suggests that using high-efficiency, low-emission coal plants can help reduce the environmental impact of coal-based electricity generation.
