NTPC Ltd and Chempolis India, and a Finnish bio-refining technology provider, have signed a MoU) to explore the feasibility of setting up a bamboo-based bio-refinery in Assam’s Bongaigaon.
The proposed bio-refinery is planned as an integration project with NTPC Bongaigaon power plant, where all utility requirements such as steam, power, etc., shall be supplied from the power plant,” the ministry of power said in a statement on April 18.
The bio-coal produced by the bio-refinery shall partly replace coal in the power plant, effectively converting 5 percent of the generation of the power plant to green.
