NTPC REL, Gujarat Alkalies tie up for green energy

08 Jul 2022 CW Team

NTPC REL has signed an MoU with Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals (GACL) to pursue green energy and green hydrogen objectives and help the Government’s efforts toward carbon neutrality.

The MoU envisages collaborating in the field of renewable energy, green methanol, and green ammonia, and mutually exploring the opportunities for the supply of 100 MW RE-RTC (renewable energy round the clock) power, as well as synthesizing 75 TPD green methanol and 35 TPD green ammonia for captive use for the production of various chemicals by GACL at its Vadodara and Dahej complexes in Gujarat.

NTPC has been active in RE capacity development and has been credited for bringing the lowest ever solar tariff in the country. NTPC REL, a 100% subsidiary of NTPC, was incorporated in October 2020. It plans to build the country’s first pilot projects for synthesizing green methanol, setting up green hydrogen filling stations, green hydrogen blending into PNG, and green energy storage.

This would be the first commercial-scale green ammonia and green methanol project in the country. Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals, incorporated in Mar 1973, is a state-owned chemical manufacturing unit.
