Jakson Green, a player in energy transition solutions, has reached a significant breakthrough in partnership with NTPC.
Together, they have successfully synthesized methanol from captured carbon dioxide at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh, India.
Conceptualized and developed by NTPC’s R&D division, NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the state-of-the-art facility captures CO2 directly from flue gas emissions.
The captured CO2 is then converted into methanol, a cleaner and versatile fuel suitable for applications such as power generation and transportation.
A New Era in Green Energy
Bikesh Ogra, CEO and Managing Director of Jakson Green Private Limited stated, “We are happy to partner with NTPC in bringing this transformative project to life.
