The workshop will focus on highlighting the importance of CCUS to achieve a clean energy transition and then move towards net zero.
The government is mainly focused on CCUS as it aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070 and energy PSUs including NTPC and ONGC are looking at tapping into the potential for this sector in India.
Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) is a technology that can effectively capture and utilize high concentrations of carbon dioxide emitted by industrial activities.
