Jakson Green achieves milestone for methanol production for NTPC

By

Jakson Green, in collaboration with NTPC, has synthesized methanol from carbon dioxide captured at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh. 

The project, led by NTPC’s R&D unit, NETRA, captures CO2 directly from flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol, a clean fuel for power generation and transportation.

This achievement marks the first instance of methanol production from captured carbon in India and is part of Jakson Green’s broader Power-to-X portfolio. The company is also executing other innovative projects for NTPC, including India’s first green hydrogen refueling station for urban mobility and the world’s first CO2-to-4G ethanol plant.

Jakson Green’s CEO, Bikesh Ogra, emphasized that this milestone highlights the company’s commitment to driving sustainable energy innovations and its pioneering role in India’s green molecule sector.
