India to phase out import of 'petcoke' after investigation revealed vast exports from US.

Subject: India to phase out import of 'petcoke' after investigation revealed vast exports from US
NEW DELHI - India's government says it plans to phase out imports of a dirty fuel known as petroleum coke, or "petcoke," after an Associated Press investigation found US oil refineries are exporting vast quantities of the product to India. 

But when it comes to domestic use, the government seems to be going in a different direction. The government this week argued in court that restrictions on petcoke around polluted New Delhi should be eased for certain low-impact industries. The move has infuriated environmentalists. 

The AP investigation found the US sold about 20 times more petcoke to India last year than it did six years earlier. Petcoke is a bottom-of-the-barrel leftover from the refining of Canadian tar sands crude and other heavy oils. It's cheaper and burns hotter than coal.
