As part of its commitment towards Net Zero by 2070, NTPC has captured its first CO2 from the flue gas stream of a 500 MW coal-based power plant (Unit-13) at Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station (VSTPS). This plant is designed to capture 20 tonne of CO2 every day. This initiative shall pave the way for scaling up CO2 capture technology and 'Greening the Coal Power Generation'. At the same location, NTPC is also setting up a green hydrogen generation plant which will use the 'Proton Exchange Membrane' Electrolysers to produce 2 tonne per day of hydrogen. Subsequently, 20 tonne per day of captured CO2 and 2 tonne per day of hydrogen shall be utilised to produce 10 tonne per day of 'Green Methanol' through a heterogeneous catalytic process. The integrated CO2 to Methanol Project has been conceived, designed, engineered and awarded by the R&D wing of NTPC and executed by VSTPS Green Chemical Department in coordination with NETRA. The total installed capacity of the NTPC is 69,454 MW and is expanding its footprint in new business areas like green hydrogen, waste-toenergy and e-mobility. It is also aiming for a 10 per cent reduction in net energy intensity by 2032. With this, NTPC has become India's first energy company to declare its energy compact goals as part of the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE). Besides power generation, NTPC has diversified into producing energy through cleaner and greener sources such as hydro, wind, solar and green hydrogen solutions. The power major has also forayed into a variety of business areas including fuel cells, e-mobility and Waste-to-Energy.
