Assessing India’s Underground CO2 Storage Potential – CEEW
Date 27 Apr 2023 | 1600 – 1730 IST
The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is one of Asia’s leading not-for-profit policy research institutions. The Council uses data, integrated analysis, and strategic outreach to explain – and change – the use, reuse, and misuse of resources. The Council addresses pressing global challenges through an integrated and internationally focused approach. It prides itself on the independence of its high-quality research, develops partnerships with public and private institutions, and engages with the wider public.
CEEW once again featured extensively across nine categories in the ‘2019 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report’, including being ranked as South Asia’s top think tank (15th globally) with an annual operating budget of less than USD 5 million for the seventh year in a row. In 2016, CEEW was also ranked 2nd in India, 4th outside Europe and North America, and 20th globally out of 240 think tanks as per the ICCG Climate Think Tank’s standardised rankings. In 2013 and 2014, CEEW was rated as India’s top climate change think-tank as per the ICCG standardised rankings.
In over 10 years of operations, The Council has engaged in more than 270 research projects, published well over 200 peer-reviewed books, policy reports and papers, engaged with governments around the world over 670 times, helped state governments with water and irrigation reforms, and organised more than 350 seminars and conferences.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital for India to be self-reliant, achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2070, and ensure a just transition. Despite India promoting renewable and alternative energy sources, long-term projections show that to meet the growing energy demand of power systems and industries, fossil fuels will need to remain an integral part of India’s energy mix.
Our upcoming webinar will bring together experts from industry and academia to deliberate on developing the CCS ecosystem in India.
Assessing India’s Underground CO2 Storage Potential: A Critical Analysis of What Lies Beyond The Theoretical Potential
The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is pleased to invite you to a webinar on ‘Assessing India’s Underground CO2 Storage Potential’ on 27 April 2023 at 1600 – 1730 IST. The webinar will bring together experts from industry and academia to deliberate on developing the CCS ecosystem in India. The webinar will focus on the need for developing a comprehensive policy on CCS, identifying bottlenecks and potential solutions needed for the rapid development of the CCS value chain.
