Bhubaneswar, Nov 24: Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) is one of the key components of India’s CO2 mitigation strategy to facilitate the transition towards a low-carbon energy economy and subsequently to ‘Net-Zero’ emission level. Towards this end, under the aegis of NITI Aayog, NETRA-NTPC and National Centre of Excellence in Carbon Capture & Utilisation (NCoE-CCU), IIT Bombay have launched a study on assessment of ‘CO2 Geological Storage Potential’ in India on 22nd Nov 2022 at NITI Aayog in gracious presence of Dr. V. K. Saraswat, Member – NITI Aayog, Shri Ujjwal Kanti Bhattacharya, Director (Projects) – NTPC, Prof. Vikram Vishal, Convener – NCoE-CCU, and other senior officials of NITI Aayog and NTPC.

As a part of this study, assessment of CO2 storage potential in select Coalbed Methane (CBM) rich coalfields in India shall be carried out including those available with NTPC. Entire study is envisaged to be completed in 12 months’ time.

The study will culminate into a ‘CO2 Storage Atlas’ for select coalfields of India and is part of NTPC’s commitment to play a key role in India’s energy transition journey as the country marches ahead to achieve the ‘Net-Zero’ target and other climate goals.
