Objective of MOU is to jointly evaluate and explore the possibility to develop commercial scale Green Methanol Production facility at NTPC project in India
New Delhi: NTPC, India’s largest power generation company, has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tecnimont Private Limited, the Indian subsidiary of Maire Tecnimont Group, Italy, to evaluate the feasibility of developing a commercial-scale Green Methanol Production facility at an NTPC project in India.
The Green Methanol Project involves capturing carbon from NTPC power plants and converting it into a green fuel that has a variety of uses, including serving as a base material for the chemical industry, storing renewable electricity, and even as a transportation fuel. It is also a potential substitute for maritime fuel.
