INTRODUCTION 

"The Fuel Research Institute of India, which our revered President will declare open in a few minutes, is a landmark of India's efforts in National Development to raise the standard of living of the people by the aid of Science & Technology"

[Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar, Director, CSIR, April 22, 1950]

Our Goal

Develop the institute towards a user responsive, credible and self sustaining R&D center for technology development and transfer through participative interaction of the customer in the area of fuel utilisation with professional competence, adaptability and dynamism.

  • Provide high level customer service.
  • Modernise the infrastructure for a higher level of expertise to undertake high technology projects in selected areas of need and proven capabilities of the Institute.
  • Intensify the activities towards excellence relating to basic research for deeper understanding and develop new concepts for efficient energy utilisation.
  • Enhance further the status of the Institute as a premier School of Learning in the discipline of coal science and technology for the purpose of imparting advanced knowledge and training.
  • Ensure human resource management for maintaining the inflow of suitably trained S&T manpower with adequate skills at every level.

With the goal of helping the country become an energy efficient nation over the past five decades, CFRI as a premier research organisation is known for its contribution relating to the:

  • quality assessment of coal resources,
  • generation of the basic process know-how for the operating coking coal washeries built for the processing of 36 mtpa of coal,
  • prescribing blends for the coal for coke making in the steel industry,
  • designing non-recovery coke ovens for foundry and domestic coke,
  • processing of coal tar, and
  • utilization of fly ash generated at the power plants for building bricks and also as a soil conditioner in agriculture.

CFRI has contributed vast knowledge in the basic studies on fuel science including proposing a model for the structure of coal. Besides, pilot demonstrations have been carried out in the area of coal gasification, fluid bed combustion, oil agglomeration, conversion to liquid fuels by hydrogenation and by  Fischer-Tropsch route, formed coke, solvent refined coal,  and coal oil and coal-water slurry, etc.

CFRI plays a participating role in guiding the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in drawing national level standards relating to the area of Coal Science and technology.  Through BIS, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) is also served in the area of solid mineral fuels.

With nearly 300 well trained scientific and technical manpower and assets worth Rs.100 million, CFRI is professionally competent to provide the research, development and engineering support as well as human resource development needed to evolve environment friendly energy management systems for the coal, power, steel, cement, chemical and other industrial and domestic sectors both within the country and outside.
