Both the CO2 capture plant and the CO2-to-methanol plant are the first of their kind in the world, marking a historic step in carbon management and sustainable fuel production, he said.
He further added that NTPC has been working on Gen-4 ethanol, green urea, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel. The company has also developed and tested ‘first indigenous catalyst’ for Methanol Synthesis and made substantial progress with hydrogen, carbon capture, and other innovative technologies, underscoring its commitment to building an environmentally-sustainable future.
NTPC’s 50-year logo reflecting its legacy and contribution in India’s progress was also unveiled on this occasion. The new 50-years logo with infinity loop and fluidic nature signifies the everlasting commitment to growth and excellence and resonates 50-years of powering growth and creating infinite possibilities. He also recognized the extraordinary achievements of NTPC employees’ children on this occasion. Further, several new IT applications were launched, and a special comic book on NTPC’s Girl Empowerment Mission was released. GEM is NTPC’s flagship CSR program which has benefitted over 10,000 girls from the rural communities.
Reflecting on NTPC’s incredible journey, Shri Gurdeep Singh paid tribute to the visionary leadership of the company’s founders, including Dr DV Kapoor, the founding Chairman, and other pioneers who laid the foundation for the institution.
He added, “NTPC symbolises 50 years of powering growth and our resilience has made us a strong-performing company. As the quest continue to power the future of India, the steady addition to our Renewable Energy footprint, including Nuclear, underscores our ambition to create a sustainable future with infinite possibilities.”
