- India’s first green methanol production plant is being set up in Gujarat.
- The plant in Gujarat will use invasive shrub Prosopis juliflora (locally called Gando Baval in Kutch) as feedstock to produce marine fuel for ocean-going ships.
- It is being developed at Deendayal Port Authority using gasification technology to convert biomass into methanol.
- It will use gasification technology to convert biomass into syngas and then into methanol fuel.
- The plant has an initial capacity of about 5 tonnes per day, with future expansion plans.
- Green methanol is a low-carbon, renewable fuel used for marine shipping and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
