Jakson Green successfully synthesises methanol from captured carbon dioxide
.


Conceived and conceptualised by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D arm of NTPC Limited, this innovative Vindhyachal Thermal Power 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.

In a groundbreaking development, Jakson Green Private Limited has successfully synthesised methanol from captured carbon dioxide (CO2) at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant. This innovative project, conceived and conceptualised by NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance (NETRA), the R&D arm of NTPC Limited, represents a significant advancement in carbon capture and utilisation technology.

The state-of-the-art facility captures CO2 directly from flue gas emissions and converts it into methanol—a cleaner and versatile fuel with applications in power generation, transportation, and other sectors. This achievement is a first for India in producing methanol from captured carbon and marks a major milestone in the country’s green energy transition.
