NTPC Limited will be setting up a green hydrogen production plant through its research and development wing NETRA to utilise plasma oxy gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) and agri-waste technology.
It is estimated that the plant will produce about 1 tonne of green hydrogen per day. This shall be done by gasifying about 25 tonnes per day of MSW/agri-waste. Additionally, carbon monoxide will be extracted from the hydrogen recovery system and harnessed to produce electricity via a low-calorie gas engine.
