Abstract
India is a nation with a diverse economy that requires tremendous resources to completely meet the desires of its compatriots in various sectors. In terms of energy resources and requirements, coal-based power plants can fulfill the bulk of these electricity needs. India is very reliant on coal, which is used in power plants as a primary energy source. However, the usage of coal energy at a higher level continuously pollutes the atmosphere. The Indian power market alone accounts for half of the country’s CO2 emissions, which implies that significant action is needed to contain environmental pollution. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a bridging technique and feasible alternative for the carbon fired plant processing of CO2. However, the application of CCS in coal-fired power stations is still uncommon in the nation. At the UNFCCC Paris Summit, India committed to reduce its carbon emission intensity by approximately 30–33% by 2030. In this work, several CCS systems, possible CO2 origins, and emission levels in India are discussed. Various advanced methods for CO2 capture and separation are also highlighted. Furthermore, the current work discusses CCS situations and the applications of CCS in India along with its manifold challenges.
Highlights
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the procedure through which CO2 is extracted from different large-scale firms in the industrial sector, after which these unused CO2 emissions are seized and deposited far below the ground, which leads to a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions
India is a growing economy that is quickly transitioning from villages to metropolitan areas
In addition to the above Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiatives at the domestic level, India is involved in many foreign programs and networks, such as the CSLF and the U.S System Protocol
Summary
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the procedure through which CO2 is extracted from different large-scale firms in the industrial sector, after which these unused CO2 emissions are seized and deposited far below the ground, which leads to a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG). CCS is a workable choice for the removal of 50–85% of GHG emissions by the year 2050 [1]. Without a CCS infrastructure, it will be extremely difficult to keep up with the environmental alterations in the forthcoming years [2]. India is a growing economy that is quickly transitioning from villages to metropolitan areas. India’s energy demands and carbon pollution are projected to change rapidly [2,3].
