Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS): A critical review towards carbon neutrality in India

Abstract

The rapid increase in the number of greenhouse gases that may be attributed to anthropogenic activity has led to a significant rise in the average surface temperature of the globe, which in turn has caused global warming. These impacts are assessed using an indication such as global warming potential, represented in units of carbon dioxide equivalent and used to show a region's overall carbon footprint. Human activities' influence on the environment may be measured using a “carbon footprint,” which refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases those activities generate. Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) will play a significant and essential part in India's efforts to cut its CO2 emissions in half by the year 2050 and reach net-zero emissions by 2070. This study identified prospective sources of CO2 emissions from various sectors in India. Additionally, this study investigates the technology for CO2 capture, utilization, and potential storage in India.
