Correct Answer :   NTPC


NTPC, India's largest power generator, has made a groundbreaking achievement in reducing carbon emissions.

Its Vindhyachal unit has successfully produced methanol from carbon dioxide, a significant step towards achieving India's net-zero emission target by 2070.

This innovative project captures 10 tons per day of CO? from coal combustion and converts it into green methanol using carbon dioxide and green hydrogen.

This technology has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, contributing to India's climate change mitigation efforts and transition to cleaner energy.
