India Algae Fuel Project by NTPC, CSIR, Teri Using Photobioreactor - @ Dadri Plant

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Hoping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its coal-based power plants, NTPC Ltd will set up India’s first photobioreactor at its Dadri unit in Uttar Pradesh in association with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri).

The reactor will be set up at an investment of Rs11 crore and will use flue gas (a combination of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxides) to grow algae and will help in carbon capture and absorption.

NTPC is India’s largest power generation company and CSIR is the largest publicly funded research and development organization; Teri is an independent think tank based in New Delhi.
