NTPC Green Energy Limited inks an MoU with Honeywell UOP India Pvt Ltd for SAF

NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Honeywell UOP India Pvt Ltd to explore the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This agreement marks a key step in India's efforts to decarbonize the aviation sector.

The MoU was formally exchanged on April 25 between NTPC's Executive Director (Hydrogen), DMR Panda, and Honeywell UOP's Vice President & General Manager (ESS), Ranjit Kulkarni. The collaboration involves conducting a feasibility study for SAF production using Honeywell’s proprietary eFining™ technology. The study will focus on utilizing carbon dioxide emissions captured from NTPC’s power plants and green hydrogen produced as part of NTPC's renewable energy initiatives.

This partnership is integral to NTPC Green's Green Hydrogen Hub project in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh, which aims to be a leading facility for green chemicals and sustainable manufacturing. The hub will span 1,200 acres and support NTPC's broader goal of building a 60 GW renewable energy portfolio by 2032.
