“The proposed project aims to create a centre of excellence (CoE) in Carbon Capture and utilization (CCU) in India, which will act as a multi-disciplinary, long-term research, design development, collaboration and capacity-building centre. The COE will act as a hub for state-of-the art research and application-oriented initiatives in the field of CCU having close association with industries and leading research institutes in India and abroad
“IIT Bombay has undertaken leadership to address several science and engineering grand challenges and develop their end-to-end solutions. The National Centre shall explore and unlock the potential of CCU technologies to lead India in this potential sunshine industrial sector to evolve as a circular carbon economy. Last year, the IIT Bombay team brought laurels to the country by winning the prestigious X-PRIZE Award, supported by the Elon Musk Foundation for ‘demonstration of carbon dioxide removal’, announced at the Sustainable Innovation Forum at COP-26”
