Consider the following statements regarding the Coal Gasification Incentive Scheme:1.The scheme is backed by a financial incentive of Rs 37,500-crore and is administered by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.2.Coal gasification is the process of converting coal into synthesis gas (syngas), which serves as a raw material for urea and synthetic natural gas production.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Correct answer: (b) 2 only

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the financial incentive scheme for coal gasification is implemented by the Ministry of Coal, not the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Statement 2 is correct as coal gasification produces syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide), which acts as an intermediate for urea and synthetic natural gas production.
