The breakthrough can help in the availability of cleaner alternate fuels, Jakson Green said.
The process captures Co2 directly from the flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol, a cleaner fuel which can be further used for applications like power generation and transportation.
Bikesh Ogra, CEO and Managing Director, Jakson Green said, "We partnered with NTPC in bringing this transformative project to life. This project 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."
EKS Sreekumar, Head of Strategy at Jakson Green said the company played the role of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) player for the project located in Madhya Pradesh.
The pilot project has been commissioned within 12 months from the date of award from NTPC, he said.
Part of Jakson Group, Jakson Green has a presence in India, Europe, and Africa. It focuses on operating in new energy spaces.
