Jakson Green Partners With NTPC for Pioneering Ethanol Project

Jakson Green has secured a significant contract with NTPC to establish a pioneering plant at Lara, Chhattisgarh. This facility marks a global first in converting flue gas emissions into 4G ethanol, set to produce 10 tons per day (tpd) of ethanol. The initiative aims to capture 25 tpd of CO2 from flue gases, contributing substantially to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

LanzaTech's advanced microbial fermentation technology will be instrumental in converting captured CO2 and hydrogen into ethanol. Additionally, the project will generate three tpd of green hydrogen through a 7.5 MW electrolyser. 

Spearheaded by NTPC's R&D wing, NETRA, the plant is expected to be operational within two years, aligning with India's goals of boosting ethanol production for blending, enhancing energy security, and promoting a cleaner environment. Jakson Green's involvement underscores its leadership in India's transition towards sustainable energy solutions, complemented by its ongoing development of over 8,500 tons per annum (tpa) of green hydrogen capacity across six Power-to-X projects.
