Jakson Green to Set Up India's First 4G Ethanol Plant in Chhattisgarh
Key Ideas
  • Jakson Green secures order from NTPC to set up plant for 4G ethanol production from flue gas in Chhattisgarh.
  • The project aims to produce 10 tpd of 4G ethanol and capture 25 tpd of CO2 from flue gases to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Partnership with LanzaTech to use microbial fermentation technology to convert CO2 and hydrogen to ethanol, with additional green hydrogen generation.
  • NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance's initiative to be operational in two years, contributing to India's clean energy transition.
Jakson Green has won an order from NTPC to establish a plant in Lara, Chhattisgarh, for producing 4G ethanol from flue gas. The plant, a pioneering project globally, will convert 25 tpd of CO2 from flue gases emitted by power plants into ethanol. This move is significant in curbing greenhouse gas emissions and aligning with sustainability goals. The advanced microbial fermentation technology from LanzaTech will play a crucial role in this conversion process. Additionally, the initiative will generate three tpd of green hydrogen through a 7.5 MW electrolyser. With a capacity of over 8,500 tpa of green hydrogen and derivatives in the pipeline across six projects, Jakson Green is poised to lead India's shift towards clean energy. The project, developed in collaboration with NTPC's R&D arm, NETRA, is slated to be operational within two years, marking a significant milestone in India's journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.
