Jakson Green Secures NTPC Order for 4G Ethanol and Green Hydrogen Plant in Chhattisgarh
Key Ideas
  • Jakson Green has secured an order from NTPC to set up a plant in Chhattisgarh to produce 4G ethanol and green hydrogen, utilizing flue gases emitted from power plants.
  • The plant will utilize Veolia Carbon Clean's carbon capture technology to capture 25 TPD CO2 from flue gases, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • In addition to producing 10 TPD of 4G ethanol, the plant will generate 3 TPD of green hydrogen through a 7.5 MW electrolyzer, contributing to India's clean energy goals.
  • Jakson Green, as the LEPC partner, will oversee the project, which is expected to commence operations within two years, aiming to enhance ethanol production for India's blending targets and energy security.
Jakson Green, a new energy transition platform, has announced securing an order from NTPC, a state-owned company in India, to establish a plant in Chhattisgarh for the production of 4G ethanol and green hydrogen. The proposed plant at Lara is set to produce 10 tonnes per day (TPD) of 4G ethanol from flue gases emitted by power plants, with the assistance of carbon capture technology by Veolia Carbon Clean. This technology will enable the capture of 25 TPD of CO2 from flue gases, thereby playing a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the plant will utilize a 7.5 MW electrolyzer to generate 3 TPD of green hydrogen. Through advanced microbial fermentation technology, developed by LanzaTech Inc., the captured CO2 and generated hydrogen will be converted into 4G ethanol. Jakson Green will lead the project as the licensing, engineering, procurement, and construction (LEPC) partner, with operations expected to commence within two years. The plant's design has been facilitated by NETRA, the research and development arm of NTPC Ltd. Kannan Krishnan, the Joint Managing Director of Jakson Green Private Limited, highlighted the importance of this partnership in enhancing ethanol production to meet India's blending targets, strengthen energy security, and promote a cleaner future. Jakson Green, with a production capacity exceeding 8,500 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen and its derivatives from six projects, aims to play a significant role in India's clean energy transition and contribute towards a sustainable future.
