NTPC has been the pioneer in co-firing Biomass in its coal-fired power plants. Since implementing co-firing, NTPC has been working to boost the entire Biomass sector value chain in a variety of ways. Many NTPC units have already begun the required biomass pellet co-firing with coal. For many plants, long-term procurement action has also been undertaken.
NTPC Limited has issued an EOI for the production of torrefied biomass pellets from Indian entrepreneurs. NTPC wants to provide a platform for Indian startups to develop innovative technology for creating torrefied biomass pellets that are well-suited for decentralized small-scale users through its R&D department, NETRA. The proposals titled “Torrefied Pellet Manufacturing Plant for Agri-Waste” must be submitted by May 19, 2022.
