Jakson Green and NTPC to Launch World's First Flue Gas-to-4G Ethanol Plant

Jakson Green, in partnership with NTPC, is set to establish a groundbreaking plant in Chhattisgarh to produce 10 TPD of 4G ethanol from flue gases. This innovative project will also generate 3 TPD of green hydrogen, leveraging cutting-edge carbon capture and microbial fermentation technology to contribute to India's clean energy goals.

Jakson Green, in collaboration with state-owned NTPC, has secured an order to set up a pioneering plant designed to produce 4G ethanol from flue gas emissions, the company announced on Wednesday.

Located in Lara, Chhattisgarh, the plant aims to produce 10 tonnes per day (TPD) of 4G ethanol, utilizing the latest carbon capture technology by Veolia Carbon Clean. The process will not only capture 25 TPD of CO2 but also contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally, the plant will generate 3 TPD of green hydrogen using a 7.5 MW electrolyser. Advanced microbial fermentation technology from LanzaTech Inc. will then combine the captured CO2 and hydrogen (H2) into 4G ethanol.

Endorsed by NTPC's research and development arm, NETRA, the project signifies a milestone in India's pursuit of a sustainable future and bolsters the country's ethanol production capabilities. Kannan Krishnan, Joint Managing Director of Jakson Green Pvt Ltd, underscored the importance of this initiative, stating it enhances India's energy security and supports cleaner energy goals. Jakson Green, with over 8,500 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen projects under development, is poised to lead India's clean energy transition.
