Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in India 2026: Accelerating the Journey to Net Zero
Introduction As India continues its journey toward sustainable industrial growth, reducing carbon emissions has become one of the country's most significant challenges. While renewable energy, electric mobility, and green hydrogen are transforming the energy sector, industries such as steel, cement, oil refining, chemicals, and power generation continue to depend on processes that are difficult to decarbonise. This is where Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in India is emerging as a critical solution. CCUS technologies capture carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere, allowing it to be reused in industrial applications or safely stored underground. Rather than replacing existing industries overnight, CCUS enables them to reduce emissions while continuing to support economic development and manufacturing growth. In 2026 , growing investments in clean technologies, industrial innovation, and climate-focused infrastructure are placing CCUS at the centre of India...
