New energy transition platform Jakson Green has announced its plans to establish the world’s first flue gas CO2 to 4G ethanol project for a power plant. Serving as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) partner, Jakson Green aims to operationalise the project within two years.
The initiative, located in Lara, Chhattisgarh, is conceptualised and designed by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D arm of state-run NTPC, according to sources.
‘Flue gas CO2 to 4G’ refers to a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from flue gases (emissions from industrial processes or power plants) is converted into “4G ethanol” through advanced technology.
