Public sector oil and gas companies in India are actively adopting carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies as part of their emission-reduction strategies as India pledges to become net zero by 2070.
According to The Green Shift – The low carbon transition of India’s oil and gas sector released in April by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), CCUS is a common strategy across India’s oil and gas majors’ energy transition plans.
CCUS technologies capture carbon dioxide emissions from fossil power generation or industrial processes. The captured CO2 is either used onsite or compressed and transported to be used in a range of applications, or injected into geological formations which trap the CO2 for permanent storage.
