NTPC achieves 20% torrefied biomass co-firing at Tanda power plant
New Delhi: State-owned power giant NTPC on Thursday said it has achieved 20 per cent torrefied biomass co-firing at Tanda thermal plant in Uttar Pradesh. The NTPC has established co-firing of 7-10 per cent non-torrefied biomass with coal at NTPC Dadri, a company statement said. However, it stated that to achieve higher percentages of biomass co-firing without major modifications, the possibility of using torrefied biomass was explored by Energy Transition and Policy Research Division of NTPC Engineering. According to the statement, the NTPC has achieved a new milestone by successfully demonstrating co-firing of 20 per cent torrefied biomass at its Unit-4 at Tanda (thermal plant) in Uttar Pradesh.
