In India, Carbon Herald reported that India has achieved a significant step toward industrial decarbonization with the successful production of its first drop of methanol derived from captured carbon dioxide at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station in Madhya Pradesh.
The report noted that the carbon capture project was jointly developed by NTPC ’s Energy Technology Research Alliance (NETRA) and UK-based Carbon Clean.
Operating for two years at NTPC’s 500 MW coal-fired Unit-13, the facility uses Carbon Clean’s CaptureX semi-modular technology to extract CO2 directly from flue gases and convert it into high-quality methanol, the report added.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “Following the success of our initial 20 TPD CO2 capture project at NTPC Vindhyachal, our technology has been chosen for the subsequent 25 TPD CO2 capture project which will be used to produce ethanol at NTPC Simhadri.”
