Jakson Green, in collaboration with NTPC, has achieved CO2-to-methanol synthesis at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh, India.

Conceived and conceptualised by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D arm of NTPC Ltd, this innovative plant captures CO2 directly from the flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol, a versatile and cleaner fuel which can be further used for applications like power generation and transportation.

Jakson Green executed the project on an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) basis.

Bikesh Ogra, CEO and managing director, Jakson Green, “We are incredibly proud to partner with NTPC in bringing this transformative project to life. This project is particularly special for us, as it marks the first instance of producing methanol from captured carbon, and it will also stand as the inaugural commissioned project in the Indian green molecule space.”

E.K.S Sreekumar, head of Strategy at Jakson Green Private Limited, stated, “As the EPC contractor, we are honoured to have led the engineering, procurement, and construction of this landmark project on turnkey basis in partnership with NTPC and their technology provider. This first-of-its-kind endeavour has provided invaluable learning experiences for our team, empowering us to tackle future challenges and deliver innovative solutions in such upcoming projects.”

Jakson Green, a global new energy transition platform headquartered in Noida, India with an international headquarters in Dubai, is backed by the Jakson Group, an infrastructure and renewable energy company. Jakson Green focuses on new energy assets across a wide range of technologies.

As part of its vision to be a leading player in the power-to-X sector, Jakson Green has recently established an electrolyser manufacturing unit to support its global green hydrogen projects. The company aims to achieve a cumulative production capacity of over 0.5 million metric tons per annum of green molecules by 2030. It has already executed six Power-to-X projects, including two more projects for NTPC: India’s first green hydrogen refueling station for urban mobility and the world’s first CO2-to-4G ethanol plant.
