Abstract
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has risen exponentially in the last 50 years. The emission from coal-based power plants contributed to major portions of this increase. As the demand for energy is not slowing down, the need for mitigation of CO2 emissions from these sources has risen. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a potential and advanced methodology to capture CO2 from flue gases of power plants and to store it in geological basins permanently. Sixteen ultra-mega power plants (UMPP) are planned in India to cater to the increased demand for energy. Among them, seven power plants are under planning/operation. The applications of CCS to UMPPs are investigated here. The potential of CO2 storage in India has been estimated earlier. The location and source of CO2 emission have been matched with the sink available nearby and capable to store the cumulative amount of CO2. Environment assessment is also carried out to assess the implementation of CCS to these power plants.
