Experts discuss carbon capture & utilisation solutions to combat climate change

Experts from India and the US discussed the challenges and opportunities to combat climate change through technology-led carbon capture and utilisation solutions. Carbon capture is capturing carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere, transporting it, and storing it for centuries or millennia. The discussions were held at the Indo-US Scoping Workshop on Carbon Capture on Friday, jointly organised by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the United States Department of Energy. Chandrashekhar said carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) is among such key pathways to reduce emissions while continuing to develop sustainably at an unprecedented pace. He briefed the gathering about the recent initiatives of the Department of Science and Technology towards technology-led RD&D in the area of CCUS.
