State-run power major NTPC has floated a global Expression of Interest (EoI) to set up two pilot projects, standalone fuel-cell based backup power system and a standalone fuel-cell based microgrid system with hydrogen production using electrolyser at NTPC premises.
Through the projects, NTPC is looking to further strengthen its footprint in green and clean fuel, the company said in a statement. NTPC will collaborate for implementation and further commercialization of the projects.
“This is in line with NTPC’s initiatives towards adopting Hydrogen technologies. It has already started a pilot for making methanol integrating carbon captured from power plant fuel gas and hydrogen from electrolysis,” the statement said.
