NTPC and EIL Collaborate on Coal-to-SNG Project

NTPC Ltd has announced a collaboration with Engineers India Limited (EIL) to establish a facility dedicated to converting coal into synthetic natural gas (SNG). This forward-thinking project is aimed at utilizing high ash coal from NTPC's captive mines.

The proposed facility is part of NTPC's ongoing efforts to provide cleaner fuel options for its gas-based power stations, which aligns with the company's broader environmental and sustainability goals.

According to NTPC's official statement, this move is expected to boost in-situ power generation while offering a sustainable alternative for energy production at its various stations.
