Similarly, while coal consumption of 1,65,000 Tons can be avoided per year; Co2 emission of 2,10,000 tons per year can be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>The post is based on the article <\/span>\u201c<\/b>India\u2019s largest floating solar power project commissioned<\/b>\u201d <\/b>published in<\/span> PIB <\/b>on 1st July 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
