Centre plans Rs 38,900 crore carbon capture programme
By September 12, 2025October 28, 2025

The central government is preparing a carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) programme estimated at Rs 38,900 crore, with Rs 19,500 crore to be committed from public funds. The balance is expected to be raised through bank loans and multilateral financing. According to officials, the programme will be structured into multiple sub-schemes. Research and development projects may receive full government support, while other initiatives could be funded between 40 and 50 percent. Semi-commercial projects may…

Technip Energies and GE Vernova secure Net Zero Teesside power project
By December 11, 2024December 11, 2024

Technip Energies, GE Vernova, and Balfour Beatty have been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) project, the world’s first gas-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The UK government’s £21.7 billion ($13.87 billion) funding for carbon capture initiatives enabled the project’s financial close. The plant aims to generate 742MW of low-carbon electricity, enough to power one million UK homes, while capturing up to 2…

Scaling power solutions to net zero by 2050 hindered by funding gaps
By November 29, 2024November 29, 2024

Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 requires substantial financial support, but experts at the London Climate Technology Show 2024 highlighted a persistent lack of investment in key sectors like carbon capture, grid efficiency, and decarbonizing buildings. Speakers pointed to over-regulation and misaligned funding priorities as significant barriers. Teele Niidas, CMO of UP Catalyst, stressed the need to redirect trillions invested in technologies like AI towards scalable carbon capture solutions with clear financial returns. Celestine Cheong…

Jakson Green achieves milestone for methanol production for NTPC
By November 18, 2024November 18, 2024

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…

GE Vernova completes FEED studies to cut emissions in Saudi plants
By November 6, 2024November 6, 2024

Electric services company GE Vernova, in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s Ash Sharqiyah Operations & Maintenance Company (ASHOMCo), has completed three front-end engineering design (FEED) studies to reduce net carbon emissions at three cogeneration plants in Saudi Arabia. These plants, equipped with GE Vernova’s 7E and 7F gas turbines, collectively generate up to 920 MW of power and 1,400 tonnes per hour of steam, providing energy for around 920,000 homes. The FEED studies explored pre-combustion and…

NTPC’s NETRA develops indigenous catalyst for CO2 to methanol conversion
By October 30, 2024October 30, 2024

NTPC‘s R&D division, NETRA, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) Dehradun, has developed an indigenous catalyst for converting CO2 into methanol. This catalyst, crucial for chemical synthesis, facilitates CO2 hydrogenation and is currently being tested in a 10 kg/day methanol pilot plant. In this process, 1 mole of CO2 and 3 moles of H2 are passed through a fixed-bed downflow reactor, producing methanol with over 99% purity. This initiative represents NTPC’s commitment…
