NTPC has unveiled plans for a green hydrogen facility at its NETRA campus in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, designed to produce one tonne of hydrogen per day.
The project will be executed through NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance (NETRA), the company’s dedicated research and development arm, and will utilize advanced plasma gasification technology to convert waste into tar-free syngas, which will then be processed into hydrogen via pressure swing adsorption or membrane-based methods.
The initiative reflects NTPC’s strategy to integrate innovative and sustainable energy solutions into its operations while supporting India’s national green hydrogen mission. Plasma gasification, a high-efficiency approach, allows the facility to minimize harmful byproducts and optimize syngas conversion into hydrogen, positioning the project as a model for clean energy innovation within the power sector.
NTPC currently operates over 85 gigawatts of installed generation capacity, contributing nearly one fourth of India’s total electricity output. An additional 30.9 gigawatts of capacity is under construction, with 13.3 gigawatts sourced from renewable energy projects. The company has set a target to expand total capacity to 149 gigawatts by 2032, including 60 gigawatts of renewables, and aims to reach 244 gigawatts by 2037, signaling a long-term commitment to decarbonization and energy transition.
The Greater Noida green hydrogen project adds to NTPC’s broader efforts to diversify its energy portfolio and implement advanced technologies capable of supporting both national climate targets and the company’s sustainability objectives.
