• Question 1 of 10 1. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding the CO₂-to-methanol conversion process at NTPC’s Vindhyachal facility: The catalyst used for the reaction requires a high concentration of sulfur to operate efficiently. CO₂ is captured from ambient air to ensure the plant’s carbon neutrality. Methanol produced in the plant can only be used in fuel blending due to its chemical composition. Which of the above statements is/are correct? a) 1 only b) 2 only c) 1 and 3 only d) None of the above Correct Solution: d) Statement 1 is incorrect because the catalyst developed by NTPC for methanol synthesis does not require sulfur; it is engineered for a clean catalytic reaction to produce high-purity methanol. Statement 2 is also incorrect, as CO₂ is captured directly from industrial flue gases, not from ambient air, aligning with NTPC’s focus on mitigating emissions from its operations. Lastly, statement 3 is wrong; the methanol produced in this plant has versatile applications. It can be used in fuel blending, chemical feedstock, and hydrogen generation, making it a valuable product for various industries and supporting India’s transition to green energy.
