Jakson Green, in partnership with NTPC, has successfully achieved CO2-to-methanol synthesis at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh, India.
This pioneering project was developed by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D wing of NTPC Ltd. The plant captures CO2 directly from the flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol, a cleaner, more sustainable fuel that can be used for various applications, including power generation and transportation.
Jakson Green managed the project on an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) basis.
Bikesh Ogra, CEO and Managing Director of Jakson Green, expressed, “We are extremely proud to collaborate with NTPC on this groundbreaking initiative. This project is especially significant for us, as it marks the first-ever production of methanol from captured carbon, and it is also our inaugural commissioned project in India’s green molecule sector.”
E.K.S. Sreekumar, Head of Strategy at Jakson Green, commented, “As the EPC contractor, we are privileged to lead the engineering, procurement, and construction of this pioneering project in collaboration with NTPC and their technology partner. This first-of-its-kind initiative has been an invaluable learning experience for our team, equipping us to tackle future challenges and deliver innovative solutions for similar projects.”
Jakson Green, a global new energy transition platform based in Noida, India, with an international office in Dubai, is part of the Jakson Group, a leader in infrastructure and renewable energy. Jakson Green focuses on advancing new energy technologies across various sectors.
