Transforming India's hard-to-abate sectors with government-backed CCUS solutions, independent technical advisory, and Australia's world-leading operational expertise applied to India's industrial landscape.
Harnessing Policy, Innovation, and Industry for Climate Leadership
Our vision is to position India as a global front-runner in industrial decarbonization through Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS). By leveraging India's vast industrial base, scientific talent, and robust policy support, we seek to achieve deep emissions reductions while maintaining energy security, generating green jobs, and safeguarding economic growth.
We are committed to building a future where India achieves Net Zero emissions by 2070 without compromising on prosperity or global competitiveness — powered by CCUS innovation and national resolve.
Delivering Policy-driven Solutions for Industry & Power
Our mission is to accelerate the deployment of CCUS technologies across India's hard-to-abate sectors: power, steel, cement, petrochemicals, and fertilizers. By facilitating R&D, demonstration projects, commercialization, and robust financial mechanisms, we empower Indian industry to convert environmental challenges into economic opportunities.
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism imposes carbon taxes on steel, cement, chemicals and aluminium exports from 2026. Indian exporters without credible decarbonisation plans face significant cost disadvantage. CCUS is the most credible response.
CBAM effective date — EU carbon border tax on Indian exports begins
CO₂ per tonne of cement — 60% unavoidable process emissions
We design, enable, and implement pragmatic decarbonisation solutions spanning the full CCUS value chain — from strategy through execution.
