Jakson Green Successfully Synthesizes CO2-to-Methanol at NTPC’s Vindhyachal TPP.

Jakson Green announced a breakthrough achievement on Thursday, successfully synthesizing methanol from captured carbon dioxide in collaboration with NTPC at its Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant (TPP) in Madhya Pradesh.

This innovative project, developed by NTPC's R&D arm, NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), captures CO2 directly from flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol. The resulting cleaner fuel has versatile applications, including power generation and transportation, marking a significant step forward in sustainable energy solutions.

Bikesh Ogra, CEO and Managing Director of Jakson Green, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, "This project is particularly special for us as it represents the first instance of producing methanol from captured carbon in India. It also stands as the inaugural commissioned project in the Indian green molecule space."

The CO2-to-methanol initiative sets a benchmark in the global energy sector by demonstrating the transformative potential of carbon capture and utilization technologies.

Jakson Green is actively advancing new energy solutions, with six marquee Power-to-X projects in its portfolio. These include India’s first green hydrogen refueling station for urban mobility and the world’s first CO2-to-4G ethanol plant, both developed in collaboration with NTPC. The company remains committed to supporting NTPC's pioneering efforts to drive sustainability and innovation in the energy industry.
