NTPC to develop green ammonia project in India
Utility is working with chemicals firm GACL to produce ammonia and methanol to partially decarbonise Vadodara and Dahej chemicals facilities
Indian utility NTPC and chemicals firm Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to produce green methanol and green ammonia from electrolysis. The firms say they are developing a project to produce 75t/d of green methanol and 35t/d of green ammonia to be used by GACL at its Vadodara and Dahej chemicals facilities in Gujarat. “This would be the first commercial-scale green ammonia and green methanol project in the country,” the firms say. NTPC is already carrying out several green hydrogen pilot projects. These include blending 5pc hydrogen into the natural gas network in Gujarat from an electrolyser coupled to a 1MW floating sol
