India’s Carbon Capture Mission: Innovation for a Resilient Tomorrow

Transforming Hard-to-abate Sectors with Government-backed CCUS Hubs, Clusters, and a Just Transition for All.

Vision

India’s Path to a Net-Zero, Sustainable Economy

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 our 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.

Mission

Enabling Scalable, Practical Decarbonization

Delivering Policy-driven Solutions for Industry & Power

Our mission is to accelerate the deployment of CCUS technologies across India’s β€œhard-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 capture and valorize or safely store COβ‚‚ converting environmental challenges into economic opportunities.

Key Objectives

Clear Targets for a Clean Economy

  • Capture & abate at least 750 million tonnes of COβ‚‚ annually by 2050Β through policy, technology, and infrastructure.

  • Establish hub-and-cluster modelsΒ for integrated CCUS across key industrial regions and sectors.

  • Catalyze investmentΒ of $100–$150 billion in CCUS projects, with special provision for incentive-based funding, R&D grants, and just transition support.

  • Promote domestic innovation and technology transferΒ with a focus on rapid deployment and localization.

Who We Are

A Multi-stakeholder National Partnership

Formed under the leadership of the Government of India and NITI Aayog, we are a coalition of national policy-makers, industry leaders (DASTUR, NTPC, SAIL, ONGC, IOCL, and more), premier research institutes (IIT Bombay, JNCASR), and global knowledge partners. Our network integrates expertise from science, engineering, economics, social policy, and sustainability uniting top minds to drive CCUS adoption at scale.

What We Do

From Strategy to Solutions - CCUS Across the Value Chain

We design, enable, and implement pragmatic decarbonization solutions spanning the full CCUS value chain:

Policy development and support for government initiatives, incentives, and financing mechanisms.

Cluster identification and infrastructure design (COβ‚‚ aggregation, pipelines, storage basins).

Technology scouting, transfer & R&D support for prioritized capture, utilization, and storage options.

Pilot & demonstration project development in targeted sectors/regions.

Capacity building, advisory & outreach to industry, investors, and state governments.

Governance & Subject Matter Expert Committee

India’s Leading Knowledge and Advisory Platform

Our work is guided by a distinguished committee of subject matter experts from government, academia, industry, and global partners. The committee includes thought leaders such as Dr. V. K. Saraswat (NITI Aayog), Atanu Mukherjee (DASTUR), Prof. Vikram Vishal (IIT Bombay), Dr. Ken Medlock (Rice University), and senior officials and scientists from NTPC, IOCL, SAIL, ONGC, and TIFAC. This multidisciplinary team ensures every recommendation and initiative is informed by technical, economic, and social best practices.

Our Core Focus Areas

Our Core Focus Areas

Targeted Action Where It Matters Most

  • Industrial Decarbonization:Β Steel, cement, chemicals, refineries, ammonia & methanol.

  • Power Sector:Β Retrofitting and abating emissions from thermal (coal) plants.

  • Storage Solutions:Β Saline aquifers, basalts, EOR, unmineable coal seams.

  • Utilization: Green urea, chemicals, building materials, polymers, enhanced oil recovery.

  • R&D and Innovation:Β Technology localization, pilot plants, COβ‚‚ conversion pathways.

Policy & Finance Mechanisms

Incentives that Drive Impact

Aligned with government guidance, our recommended CCUS business model prioritizes carbon credits, tax & cash subsidies, viability gap funding, PLI schemes, and the creation of a dedicated Carbon Capture Finance Corporation (CCFC). We advocate for multi-phase, scalable bond/cess-based funding that minimizes risk for both investors and industry while enabling just transition and community protection.

Impact & Opportunity

Jobs, Growth, Security - A New Carbon Economy

By scaling to 750 MT COβ‚‚/year across prioritized sectors, India will:

Create up to 10 million direct & indirect green jobs

Reduce $7-10 billion in chemical and energy imports

Strengthen food, materials, and energy security

Promote equitable regional development and just transitions for affected communities
