Carbon Dioxide Capture and Support Technology and Contribution of India for the Planet Earth

Abstract

The study is in the background of the present status of CO2 in atmosphere. Further the scope of the study is to know the development, feasibility of CCS technology and its implementation in India. The key objective of the research is “To study the importance and development of CCS technology in reducing the GHG emissions to restrain global warming”. In pursuing the above research objective, the study focused on the components of CCS technology with reference to power sector in detail so as to understand the feasibility of the concerned technologies; their applicability to the Indian scenario. The scope of CCS Technology aims to: • Enhancing efficiency of power plants by emerging technologies to reduce emission of CO2 per megawatt to reduce process load on capture technology; • Capturing and Separating CO2 from the gas streams emitted from combustion; • Transporting the captured CO2 to underground storage; In India upto 2050 there is no budgetary provision for CCS technology in spite of having major coal pro-duction and utilization of it for power generation
