Earlier this month, NTPC Limited partnered with Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to utilise sludge produced in DJB’s sewage treatment plants (STP) into energy, in order to reduce the carbon footprint. The waste sludge was torrefied and burnt from NTPC’s unit 4 Boiler at Dadri. Reportedly, this environmentally friendly technical solution is an innovative way to convert STP sludge into electricity while reducing carbon emissions.
