NTPC seawater green hydrogen plant

NTPC Limited is setting up a one-tonne per day seawater-to-green hydrogen plant at its Simhadri facility near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. 

Developed through its R&D centre, NETRA, the project will use a low-carbon desalination plant powered by waste heat from the thermal power plant’s flue gas. 

This innovative process will produce hydrogen-grade water from seawater at reduced costs. NTPC states that 12-13 kg of purified water is required to generate 1 kg of hydrogen.

In November 2024, NTPC also announced plans for a green hydrogen production facility using plasma oxy gasification of municipal solid waste and agri-waste. 

Additionally, NTPC successfully synthesized methanol at its Vindhyachal plant by combining carbon dioxide captured from flue gas with hydrogen produced via a PEM electrolyser.
