Jakson Green wins NTPC order to set up Co2-to-ethanol plant in Chhattisgarh

Clean energy firm Jakson Green said on June 19 that it has secured an order from state-owned NTPC to establish a plant for producing 4G ethanol from flue gas. The company has been enlisted as the Licensing, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (LEPC) partner.

The project, located in Lara, Chhattisgarh, will produce 10 tons per day (TPD) 4G Ethanol from flue gases.

Flue gases are the emissions produced when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, or biomass are burned for energy production in industrial processes or power plants. These gases are typically released through a chimney or flue, hence the name "flue gases."

Using the carbon capture technology by Veolia Carbon Clean, the plant will capture 25 TPD CO2 from the flue gases, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, 3 TPD Green Hydrogen will be generated through 7.5 MW Electrolyser.
