TORREFIED BIOMASS
NTPC achieves 20 pc torrefied biomass co-firing at Tanda power plant
NTPC achieves 20% torrefied biomass co-firing at Tanda thermal plant, marking a milestone in India's power sector. Torrefied biomass, akin to coal, enables higher co-firing percentages without major modifications. NTPC aims for decarbonization, exploring biomass co-firing in existing and new coal power plants to reduce emissions and mitigate air pollution.
