SEDL, Jakson Green to Build India’s First 4G Ethanol Plant at NTPC Green

Spray Engineering Devices Ltd. (SEDL) has announced a strategic partnership with Jakson Green to develop India’s first 4G ethanol plant at NTPC Green.

As per the reports, this landmark project leverages LanzaTech’s advanced gas fermentation technology to convert captured carbon dioxide and green hydrogen into sustainable biofuel, setting a new benchmark for the country’s renewable energy landscape.

The collaboration marks a significant milestone in India’s journey toward decarbonisation and biofuel innovation. By integrating cutting-edge carbon capture and green hydrogen production technologies, the plant aims to reduce industrial emissions while producing cleaner energy.

“SEDL is honoured to contribute our expertise in distillation and dehydration to this transformative project,” said Vivek Verma, Managing Director of SEDL. “This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting India’s renewable energy goals and fostering sustainable solutions in biofuel production," he added.

The reports further indicate that Jakson Green will take the lead in designing, constructing, and operating the plant’s carbon capture and green hydrogen facilities. A key highlight of the project is the deployment of LanzaTech’s second-generation bioreactor, which represents a significant technological leap in biofuel production.

“This collaboration exemplifies our focus on driving sustainable innovation. We believe this project will serve as a blueprint for future biofuel initiatives, contributing to a cleaner, greener future for India,” Verma noted.

The 4G ethanol plant is expected to enhance India’s biofuels sector by demonstrating the viability of gas fermentation in large-scale industrial applications. The initiative aligns with the nation’s broader push to expand renewable energy capacity and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
