India’s first Integrated Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Field Laboratory Facility was inaugurated at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay under Bharat Innovates 2026.
The facility integrates carbon capture technology with carbon utilisation and permanent geological carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage.
The project supports India’s Panchamrit climate commitments and long-term Net-Zero emission targets.
The laboratory uses non-potable water to capture carbon emissions and convert them into industrial-grade carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
The project also includes India’s first pilot-scale scientific drilling initiative to study carbon dioxide storage potential in the Deccan Traps basalt formations.
