NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) and Honeywell UOP India (UOP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly explore the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The agreement was formally exchanged between D M R Panda, Executive Director (Hydrogen), NTPC, and Ranjit Kulkarni, Vice President nd General Manager (ESS), Honeywell UOP.
Feasibility Study to Leverage CO₂ and Green Hydrogen
Both parties will conduct a detailed feasibility study focused on SAF production as part of the collaboration. The study will combine Honeywell’s proprietary eFining™ technology with carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from NTPC’s power plants and green hydrogen produced through NTPC’s renewable energy initiatives.
A Key Pillar in NTPC’s Green Hydrogen Hub
The NGEL and Honeywell partnership plays a critical role in advancing NTPC Green’s ambitious Green Hydrogen Hub project in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh. NTPC is developing a 1,200-acre hub in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh. The project will serve as an integrated ecosystem for green chemicals and sustainable manufacturing.
Business-standard.com reports that Honeywell UOP and NTPC Green are combining their expertise in SAF technologies and renewable hydrogen projects. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon fuels in aviation and significantly contribute to India’s energy transition goals.
