State-owned power generator NTPC Ltd is planning a foray into coal gasification, aiming to produce a minimum 5-10 million tonnes (MT) of the synthetic gas annually in three-four years, a top company official said.

- SHUBHANGI MATHUR

‘The cost of gas production is expected to be around $10-$12 per million British thermal units (mmBtu).

‘The official said the gas price determined by NTPC would be competitive with the delivered cost of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the company sees no challenge in securing buyers.

‘The gas produced would be either sold in the domestic market or utilised by the firm’s own plants. NTPC would use its own coal to produce synthetic gas.
