This demonstration plant will produce about 1 Tonne green hydrogen per day by gasifying about 25 Tonne per day MSW/agri-waste.

 NETRA, the R&D wing of NTPC Ltd., embarks to set up green hydrogen production plant using Plasma Oxy Gasification of MSW/Agri-Waste technology. Upon set-up, it shall be a unique plant globally, wherein plasma assisted ‘oxy gasification’ of MSW-RDF/Agri-Waste shall be carried to produce ‘very high quality syn-gas’, from which high purity hydrogen (more than 99.9 per cent) shall be separated using a novel configuration of ‘gas membrane’ and ‘pressure swing adsorption’.

This demonstration plant will produce about 1 Tonne per day green hydrogen by gasifying about 25 Tonne per day MSW/Agri-Waste. Besides ‘Carbon-Mono-Oxide’ separated from ‘Hydrogen Recovery System’ shall be used to produce electricity using a low-calorie gas engine.

It may be mentioned that other than electrolysis, which is a highly energy intensive process (55-60 kWh/kg H2), Gasification & Reformation of MSW/Agri-Waste is the only pathways to produce green hydrogen.

This cutting-edge technology is in line with NETRA’s commitment to undertake research projects and demonstrate technologies for achieving Energy Transition goals and NTPC’s commitment for adopting ‘Circular Economy’ models.

This opens a new avenue for NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC in the domain of green hydrogen.

This demonstration plant will produce about 1

IESS 2047 is a user-friendly interactive tool that can help ministries/ departments to develop a variety of energy transition scenarios to achieve net-zero.

A Revamped India Energy Security Scenarios (IESS) 2047 (IESS 2047 V3.0) to assess the integrated impact of various green energy policies of Government of India was released by NITI Aayog. An open-source tool, IESS incorporates several policies related to alternative energy resources like Green Hydrogen, Energy Storage, Renewable Purchase Obligations, PM-KUSUM, offshore wind strategy, Electric Vehicle policy, Energy efficiency, etc. Assessing the demand and supply of energy in the country, the tool helps in analysing emissions, cost, land, and water requirements till 2047.

The release was attended by Suman Bery, VC, NITI Aayog, Dr. V.K. Saraswat, Member, NITI Aayog, B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog, Amitabh Kant, G-20 Sherpa, and other experts from Academia, Industry and the Government.

With an aim of making this technology available to the people, this version of IESS is easily downloadable and facilitates users to generate their own pathways. It will help researchers and think tanks to develop user-specific scenarios and the option of customised applications on the basis of share of industry/services/agriculture, population, the pace of urbanisation, end-use energy demand etc.

IESS 2047 is a user-friendly interactive tool that can help ministries/ departments to develop a variety of energy transition scenarios to achieve net-zero. The tool is flexible enough to provide many permutations and combinations of net-zero pathways. It provides capabilities to compute the energy needs and estimates of the country and hence reduce India’s dependency on external agencies for the estimates.

Designed with the help of IIT Bombay, the revamped IESS 2047 will be updated on yearly basis. The baseline has been standardised in 2020 and calibrated up to 2022.

 BVR Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog termed IESS as a national asset and an outstanding example of the research and development being undertaken at NITI Aayog. Emphasising upon the fine balance between justified growth aspirations and sustainability, he said that it is important to have such tools and data platforms for holistic planning and policy making at national and state level.

The web version of the tool offers user-friendly graphical representations of energy demand and supply scenarios for the country based on user choices. The results of some of the illustrative scenarios from IESS are shown below:

India is currently chairing the CEM along with G-20 and will soon be launching the historic Global Biofuels Alliance officially

Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has joined the BioFuture Campaign, a global initiative launched by the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) to promote sustainable bioenergy development and deployment in India. India is currently chairing the CEM along with G-20 and will soon be launching the historic Global Biofuels Alliance officially through the platform.

As the premier sugar organisation in India, ISMA serves as the primary interface between the government and private sugar mills in the country. The association has been at the forefront of India’s national ethanol blending program, which aims to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of sustainable biofuels. Due to the efforts of the industry, India has been able to reach 10 per cent blending in record time and will be crossing 20 per cent by 2025.

ISMA’s commitment towards sustainability and the sugar industry’s phenomenal contribution to India’s biofuel program has already become a globally acknowledged success story. With the tremendous potential for sugarcane to produce bioenergy, the industry has become the forerunner in implementing India’s energy transition to a cleaner future. ISMA remains committed to lowering India’s carbon footprint and is already expanding the sugar energy matrix to include ethanol, Compressed Bio Gas (CBG), Green Hydrogen, and Green Methanol.

This is a first-of-its-kind novel initiative by two leading CPSEs, to support the country’s commitment to achieving renewable energy targets and reduce greenhouse emissions

NTPC RE Limited (NTPC REL) a fully owned subsidiary of the NTPC Limited has recently signed an MoU with National Fertilisers Limited (NFL) to collaborate in the field of renewable energy and green chemicals and mutually explore opportunities for the supply of 90 MW RE-RTC power in phases (30 MW in Phase-1 & 60 MW in Phase-2) and synthesising 50 TPD Green Ammonia for captive use for production of Industrial products by NFL.

This is a first-of-its-kind novel initiative by two leading CPSEs, to support the country’s commitment to achieving renewable energy targets and reduce greenhouse emissions.  

This comes in the backdrop of NTPC announcing its Green Hydrogen initiatives and plan to build the country’s first pilot projects for synthesising green Methanol, setting up green hydrogen filling station, green hydrogen blending into PNG and green energy storage project.

This is a first-of-its-kind novel initiative by
