Toyo Engineering India, a provider of engineering services, has commissioned a green methanol plant with a production capacity of 10 tons per day at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station in Madhya Pradesh. The facility synthesizes methanol using carbon dioxide captured from flue gas and green hydrogen generated through water electrolysis.
The project was undertaken by Toyo Engineering India Private Limited, a subsidiary of Toyo Engineering Co., Ltd. of Japan. The contract was awarded by NTPC Limited, a state-owned Indian power producer, in 2021. Toyo India provided basic engineering and supplied proprietary equipment based on Toyo Japan’s CO₂-to-methanol synthesis technology, known as g-Methanol.
Initial production of green methanol was achieved on 3 June 2025 in collaboration with NTPC and other stakeholders. According to Toyo Engineering, the milestone represents the first successful production of green methanol from captured CO₂ in India.
Toyo Engineering India provides engineering, procurement, and construction services and operates as part of the Toyo Group, which delivers projects across the chemical, petrochemical, and energy sectors globally.
